Saar - Stamp Packet

Saar is a border region located between France and Germany. The ownership of the region has been heavily contested throughout the years especially during the First and Second World Wars. At different times it was once a German and then French protectorate. Saar as a state is now a part of Germany. Each protectorate issued stamps during its occupation, until finally using stamps issued by Germany when it became a part of that country. This region plays a vital role in Germany's economy.
