FACTS & FIGURES

On April 13, 1943, the Reichspost issued a postage stamp to celebrate Adolph Hitler's 54th Birthday. Joseph Goebbels gave a speech every year on the eve of Hitler’s birthday. The 1943 speech came a few months after the defeat at Stalingrad, at a time when Germany’s prospects were looking increasingly uncertain. Unlike previous speeches, which usually focused more on Hitler personally, this speech took on the grim war situation at some length before turning to Hitler himself. German morale reports found that people took Goebbels speech as evidence that the war situation was serious, and that its end was nowhere in sight.
