‘Nazi-themed’ postal stamps seized at Ukrainian border | 10 Nov 2025 | Ukrainian customs officials have intercepted a shipment containing thousands of “Nazi-themed” postage stamps that were being smuggled in from Poland, the State Customs Service announced on Monday. The haul consisting of 14,487 stamps depicting Nazi-era symbols and figures, including Adolf Hitler, was discovered concealed within 350kg of used clothing inside a vehicle entering Ukraine. The agency estimated the collection’s black-market value at over $35,000, suggesting significant demand among private collectors. Images of the seized stamps released by the agency appear to show original Third Reich issues or high-quality replicas. Ukrainian law formally bans the production and sale of materials featuring Nazi or Soviet symbols, though the legislation is unevenly enforced, particularly when such imagery is linked to nationalist or military contexts.
