I was intrigued by the question of obliterated Hitler portrait postage stamp. I found this item on Alamy website: it appears to be a Bohemia Moravia protectorate, Czechoslovakia, issue from 1945. I did not continue the search, though. There are many, many issues of Hitler's portrait on postage stamps. Not a theme or topic I like.
For whatever it's worth, here is the Alamy Website image:
Thanks Rgbrito, hadn't seen that one before. I wonder how much was done at local levels vs national (or in this case regional?) And, if gadgets to do the overprints were distributed throughout the postal system or if stamps were recalled and done centrally.
Might make a great research project and/or presentation for someone.

re: Hitler We Hate You Stamps
It is not uncommon that when an unpopular leader has been unseated that stamps with their image were defaced for use until new stamps could be printed. Probably the most memorable one's were those from Austria at the end of WWII.
