Germany / Covers & Postcards

The postmark's slogan translates as 'Watch Out For the Colorado Potato Beetle'. Although the insect had established itself throughout Europe during the Second World War, soon after that, the Colorado Potato Beetle had infested nearly half of all the potato fields in Soviet-Occupied Germany.

In a very early example of Cold War propaganda, the Soviet Zone's government claimed that the beetles had been dropped by American planes.
