British Forgeries of the Stamps and Banknotes of the Central Powers
SGM Herbert A. Friedman (Ret.)
During the course of the First World War, the British counterfeited eight stamps of three enemy nations. These were the 5, 10 and 25 heller stamps of Austria, the 5, 10 and 15-pfennig stamps of Bavaria, and the 10 and 15-pfennig stamps of Germany. It is assumed that these stamps were forged to be used to mail pro-Allied propaganda behind enemy lines.
