Nazi stamp printed by mistake

German neo-Nazis use a personalized stamp service to send letters bearing the image of Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess.

The German mail company Deutsche Post accidentally issued stamps with the image of Hess.

The company printed 20 stamps with Hess next to a bouquet of flowers as part of a service which allows clients to order custom-made envelopes, a company spokesman said. He added, "It is very unfortunate. But it happened".

  • Oh, it wasn't a mistake or a joke. One is a mistake. Twenty is pretty deliberate on someone's part, unfortunate or not.

  • How do you seriously make that mistake? You’re telling me a German company failed to recognize that big red and black swastika?

  • It is all computerized. the person who ordered it obviously knew what he was doing. That it wasn't caught by the German post office is unfortunate but a sample of bureaucracy .
    I live in Germany and it is a big deal, everyone is ordering their own stamps. long live privatization.

    by the way presstv.ir is ok but you need to remember they have a very definite editorial policy. for another view try http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/22/rudolf_hess_col...
