German Postage Stamp: 1938 Deutsches Turn- u. Sportfest, Breslau (6 Pfennig)

This item is a historical postage stamp from Germany, issued in 1938. The stamp depicts a large, imposing architectural structure, likely a stadium or a sports complex with a prominent tower, situated along what appears to be a track or parade ground. The dominant colors are muted greens and browns, suggesting a monochromatic or limited-color printing process, common for postage stamps of that era. In the upper left and upper right corners, the denomination '6 Deutsches Reich' and '6' respectively are visible, indicating a value of 6 Pfennig and identifying the issuing authority as the German Reich. Below the primary image, text reads 'Breslau 1938 Deutsches Turn u. Sportfest', which translates to 'Breslau 1938 German Gymnastics and Sports Festival', indicating the event the stamp commemorates. A notable and historically significant feature is the presence of a swastika emblem, partially obscured but discernible, in the lower left quadrant of the stamp, signifying its origin during the Nazi regime in Germany. The edges of the stamp are perforated, a standard feature for separation. The visible condition suggests some light wear consistent with a paper item of its age, but no severe damage such as tears or heavy creasing is readily apparent from the image. The detail in the architectural drawing indicates a level of craftsmanship typical for official government issues, designed to convey a sense of grandeur and national pride associated with the regime's public events.
