The Infantry Replacement Battalion 480 was subordinate to Division 173 and provided a replacement for the 260th Infantry Division. On 20th July 1941, the battalion was relocated to Schlan in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. From that day on, the battalion was also subordinate to Division 193. On 1st October 1942, the battalion was divided into an Infantry Replacement Battalion 480 and an Infantry Training Battalion 480. Both battalions were renamed Grenadier Replacement Battalion 480 and Grenadier Training Battalion 480 on 7th November 1942. On 10th April 1943, both battalions were merged to form the Grenadier Replacement and Training Battalion 480. On 13th December 1943, the training battalion was transferred to the 271st Infantry Division and thus disbanded. As a result, the battalion was again called the Grenadier Replacement Battalion 480.

[As is shown above] Harper & Scheck states, 'This stamp was specially issued for obtaining special postmarks. The design is simple so as not to detract attention from the postmark, and the colour sufficiently light so that it does not overshadow the p/mk. the collector affixed one of these stamps to either an envelope or a card or even a piece of paper, and the postal clerk would oblige by cancelling it with whatever special p/mk was in use at that particular time. The surtax on this stamp represents the fee for this service. The stamp could also be used as normal 3 Pfg. stamp.' Mi.830 (3+2 pf) from February 1943. Only a month from it being issued.
