The Third Reich issued their first postage stamps, of a commemorative nature, in late 1933. These new stamps were nothilfe issues. "Nothilfe", in German, literally means "emergency assistance". In the philatelic World, these types of postage stamps are known as "charity" or "semi postal" stamps, with the surcharges on them generally going to charitable organizations.
The year 1933 also marked the 10th anniversary of the first German nothilfe stamps of 1923, which had been issued to provide emergency aid to the victims of the Rhine-Ruhr floods during that year.
