In the months following the collapse of the Third Reich, there was really no local government, and the only national governments were those of the Allied occupation military forces. Many of the local issues of Germany from this period, especially the ones with obliterating overprints on the stamps of the former Third Reich, have been heavily counterfeited. Information on these stamps is not plentiful, so the following are based on information from Michel specialized catalogs Altdobern Michel #2 II
Apolda 12/21/1945
  Michel # 1 Type II with large blank margins and eBay forgery on the right   Michel # 2 Type II with large blank margins and eBay forgery on the right  Michel # 3 Type II with large blank margins
Arnsberg 7/8/1945
Michel #1
Bad Sarrow 7/15/1945
#1
More to follow....

City of Cottbus
Jan 17 1946 to aid reconstruction: City and County Views.
A wonderful series of which the first 20 in the set are very affordable and easy to obtain. Some 50,000-250,000 of each were printed.
Used ones on cover are not common.
Plenty for the specialist as there are different papers, imperfs and constant plate flaws
Several later sets were issued with overprints. In all 33 issues are listed.

This issue has a very heavy grilled gum
This one is also one of the many errors (color variant) and has a high CV

Aschaffenburg 1945
Aschaffenburg is a town in northwest Bavaria, Germany.
The stamps are not officially recognized so their status as postal issues remains unclear. They may be for reconstruction purposes. [Moderator note - images deleted by member, not retrievable] |

I would be surprised if in Scotts Found in Michel Germany regular & specialized Dolkssolidaritat - Gegen Dolsknot do you mean Volk Solidaritat - Gegen Volksnot - People Solidarity against National Needs
They show up in several areas in particular the 1946 Soviet Zone issues

I found a set of the Findsterwalde local stamps in an envelope within a WW mix that I'm sorting. Hadn't seen anything like them before, so it was a fun time learning about these short-lived issues. They say forgeries abound. I'm not sure if the gum on the back is legitimate, but it sure looks neat. (In the scan, I flipped the stamps top to bottom to show the gum)

madbakerThe type of gum is correct - "Spargummi". After WWII, due to shortages, several types of gum were used:  The series of 12 stamps were issued on February 16, 1946 in Finsterwalde (Niederlausitz) - Michel no. 1 - 12
