- Abstract
The issuing of stamps is a protracted process influenced by many interests. Despite their value as sources for the history of everyday life and thought and as a barometer of what can be said, dealing with philatelic sources is still mostly a field for extramural research. In the present article, the complexity and political relevance of emitting stamps is demonstrated using the example of the genesis of the memorial set on the 20th anniversary of the Assassination Attempt against Adolf Hitler on 20 July 1944. Examining this memorial set is particularly relevant because this anniversary marked changes in the West German conception of the resistance, as the disputes about the stamp memorial set clearly show.
