I have quite a collection of WWI, Depression era, and WWII German stamps that I collected when I lived there as a kid ('60-'64). As Rob mentions, I have numerous stamps overprinted with phenomenal denominations of hundreds of millions marks. I also have large numbers of the Hitler head profile stamps, both from within the German Reich as well as overprinted for use in conquered lands (Ukraine, for example).

I haven't had these out for a look in well over 10 years. I may need to take another peak. BTW, the town I lived in as a kid (Käfertal on the outskirts of Mannheim) still had all sorts of bombed out buildings and there numerous old pillboxes and bunkers in the farmers fields on the edge of town. We use to crawl through them, playing war. There were also a significant number of fighter planes stuck nose down in some of the fields that hadn't yet been removed throughout Germany and the Benelux countries.
