1945 France SC# 559 Liberation 4 Francs Stamp Block of 6 Mint MNH

In this post we'll be discussing a 1945 France SC# 559 Liberation 4 Francs Block of 6 Mint Not Hinged stamps.  The theme of these stamps celebrates the Liberation of Alsace and Lorraine during World War Two.  As far as who was in charge freeing Alsace from Germany we had on the allied side the Americans (under Generals Devers, Patch and O'Daniel)  and French forces under Général de Lattre.  They engaged the Germans who had 22,000 troops (under General Rasp) with success ultimately but not without challenges like water way barriers.




This block of collectible stamps is available as part of this lot.
