Azad Hind (Mi.I A/B - Mi.X A/B - 1943) Azad Hind (Mi.I A/B - Mi.X A/B - 1943) 1/1 Azad Hind (Free India') unissued postage stamps for the national government under Subhas Chandra Bose. Shown above Mi.IA (1 A + 1 A perforate) and Mi.IB (1 A + 1 A imperforate). Both ref: Prophila2 The Provisional Government of Free India or, more simply, Azad Hind, was a short-lived Japanese-controlled provisional government in India. It was established in Japanese occupied Singapore during World War II in October 1943 and has been considered a puppet state of the Empire of Japan. It was a part of the political movement originating in the 1940s outside India with the purpose of allying with the Axis powers to liberate India from British rule. It was established by Indian nationalists in exile during the latter part of the World War II in Singapore with monetary, military and political assistance from Imperial Japan. Mi.I (A&B) depicts a Sikh soldier armed with a German MG 34 machine gun. On his right shoulder he bears the insignia of the Indian Legion. The Indian Legion (German: Indische Legion), officially the Free India Legion (German: Legion Freies Indien) or 950th (Indian) Infantry Regiment (German: Infanterie-Regiment 950 (indisches)), was a military unit raised during the Second World War initially as part of the German Army and later the Waffen-SS from August 1944. Intended to serve as a liberation force for British-ruled India, it was made up of Indian prisoners of war and expatriates in Europe. Owing to its origins in the Indian independence movement, it was known also as the 'Tiger Legion', and the 'Azad Hind Fauj'. As part of the Waffen-SS it was known as the Indian Volunteer Legion of the Waffen-SS (German: Indische Freiwilligen Legion der Waffen-SS). (Source: Wikipedia) Note that the high value 1R+2R (Mi.VIIB, Ba, Bb, - imperforate only) is not shown here due to it's rarity and cost.

Notes on Jakko (1941): Jakko is a 1940/41 German feature film directed by Fritz Peter Buch and starring Norbert Rohringer . It tells the story of an parentless circus boy who finds a sense of duty and order in the Hitler Youth. The script is based on the novel of the same name by Alfred Weidenmann . The film was sponsored by Reich Youth Leader Artur Axmann. Before the premiere, Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels spoke at the same event. The film received the ratings 'politically valuable', 'popularly valuable' and 'youth value' from the film testing center. With the latter, it was suitable as an educational film for film events run by the Reich Youth Leadership (Youth Film Hours). Wilhelm Westecker wrote about the film in the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung in 1941 : 'This film is entirely determined by the type of youth. He does not work through doctrines or principles, but through example and example. Youth is also not contrasted with the world of adults. It remains in the natural context of an organic national community. […] 'Jakko' is a film in which our youth recognizes themselves.' After the end of the Second World War, the film was classified as a reserved film because of the National Socialist propaganda it contained. Since then, its public performance has only been possible to a limited extent. Today the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation claims the exploitation rights.
