skall...you really must take your medicine more aoften...conspiracy freaks will always find something to be paranoid about...someone forgot to tell these freaks that Art Deco came along before Hitler...eagles like this can be found on buildings like the Ellis Island buildings, all over the treasury buildings, etc. Eagles can be found on coins back to the 1700's....George Washington was innagurated as president under a huge eagle that was in Federal Hall.....maybe the conspiracy freaks are running out of stuff to worry about, but saying there is some hidden agenda like infusing nazi symbology into postage stamps is just stupid.....
This is on the reverse of this card..
Designer Paul Follot said in 1928: "We know that the 'necessary' alone is not sufficient for man and that the superfluous is indispensable for him ... Or otherwise let us also suppress music, flowers, perfumes ... and the smiles of ladies!" Looking back on Follot's era, it is hard to imagine the 1920s and 1930s without Art Deco, a style that erupted in skyscrapers, flashed across the landscape in zip trains, and decorated machine-produced consumer appliances including radios, refrigerators, toasters and vacuum cleaners. Razor thin lines, lightning bolt zig-zags, and curvilinear streamlined edges shouted: "Modern!" Machine Age technology increased the tempo of life, and Hollywood decorated it with the fluid routines of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, the synchronized extravaganzas of Busby Berkeley, and the staccato repartee of slapstick, screwball comedy. Jazz bounced across the airwaves while epauletted waiters poured drinks from smooth, cool metal cocktail shakers, teasing up images of grinning, penguins with top hats and canes. The entablature on the temple of the modern era was Art Deco -- a term coined in 1968 by historian Bevis Hillier relating to the celebrated 1925 Paris Exposition, L 'Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes. Even the staunch American Eagle conformed itself to Art Deco. With angular beak, flat head, swept-up parallel feathers, and symmetrical, stepped-back wings, it poses Egyptian-like in its monumentality.
Sorry skall....try harder next time..

There is no hope for you...Might I also remind you that Hitler decided to take the Chinese symbol for good luck and turn it into something that is despised by most as purely a nazi symbol? You have no historical context or valid way of backing up your claim...just paranoid crap spewing out of your delusional head..yes please do try harder to come up with better conspiracy theories...this one is as dumb as hell..

Something is seriously wrong with you. Valis' post was right on. All he did was refute what you said, he did it rather nicely and accurately.
Whenever you post something, you can't expect everyone to agree with you, it's okay sf, it's okay.
