I would say, get yourself a copy of the Michel Specialized Germany (pt. 2). I think that has more information and more detail than you will ever find online.
And yes, many of these "Schwarzungen" / obliterations are crude and probably easy to forge. With the base material abundant and virtually valueless, the temptation will be very big to create some of these specialties. So yes, lots of forgeries around.
Thanks Jan-Simon. Given the number of paper/color/etc variations I’m finding as my Germany+ Collection grows that would be handy.
Have never seen one available.
Dave.
Will send you a PM
"Is there a listing anywhere, with pictures (“values” would also be groovy) of the various post-war local HH overprints/ obliterations?"
Another reminder that we need some sort of index of useful information. It is a project that is still in a very early stage. Embryonic more or less 
I accquired a free pdf download of the Michel Deutschland Katalog 2009/2010 from this site:-

Well Henry, I should have done a search for your name before I asked. You have posted the most amazingly useful info on Germany+ I have ever seen!
Dave.
Dave,
Here is another one from this forum :

And I do not believe that there is some sort of catalog of these crap
Here another link of another site about the austria versions.
But they are mentioned in some catalogs....

Hitler overprints were used for a different reason than Saxon Blacks ?? Correct me if I`m wrong ...
Please
All the above series have nothing to do with the "saxon blacks" issues.
The series above are local issues from different cities or districts.
Some are fake, others not.
Austria has some series in there catalog as you can see in the different posts above.
The Michel-catalog of germany only mentioning the "saxon blacks" issues and some other in the "lokal ausgaben" (different areas)
As I stated in :
https://stamporama.com/discboard/disc_ma ...
State Sachsen
Use-up provisionals, so-called "Saxon blackening"
After the surrender, postal traffic was temporarily suspended. The resumption took place in the area of the (former) Oberpostdirektionen (= OPD) Chemnitz and Leipzig on May 12th, in the area of the OPD Dresden on May 16th, 1945. The relevant rulings indicated that until new stamps were issued the postage stamps still valid on 8. 5.1945 of the German Empire could still be used, but head images or other National Socialist features were made unrecognizable
had to, but the indication of value had to remain legible.
I also mentioned the "Lokal Ausgaben" issues here :
https://stamporama.com/discboard/disc_ma ...
just after the "feldpost" section.
If anyone has other overprints please place them here (with any comments from which city or district they came)
I also read in my literature that there is a company in San Jose that reproduces not only stamps of the 3. reich era but also other paperwork like postcards, passes, autographed photos.
Krause Papierwerke San Jose
UNBELIEVABLE

This is not my area but there is some really interesting stuff here! How much is real, I always assumed stuff like this was heavily faked.
Is there a listing anywhere, with pictures (“values” would also be groovy) of the various post-war local HH overprints/ obliterations?
Also, in general, how common are forgeries? Some overprints look to be very amateurish and probably easy to replicate.
Many thanks, Dave
