To meet postal demands, authorities surcharged existing stocks of stamps with the low values needed in 1944 and 1945..

                                                                                               Surcharge of 1944                                                                       

While the 10 centimes surcharge on the 60 centimes airmail issue of 1940 is more properly considered as one of the regular surcharges of 1944-1945, this particular issue provides an area of study for a number of collectors.   As such, we show it separately here.

                                               Double Surcharge                                                                               The Double "kiss"  

                                                 (Very scarce)                                                                                   (Not a true double) 

 Rotated obliterating bars variety

                                                            Note the rotated set of bars on the lower left stamp in this block.
