Old Stamp Of German GrossDeutsches Reich ( World War II 1933 -1945 )

Following the annexation of Austria in 1938, Nazi Germany informally named itself as " GrossDeutsches Reich " or Greater German Reich .   This name was made the official state name only during the last two years ( 1944 - 1945 ) of Nazi rule under Adolf Hitler though the change was never proclaimed.   After World War II , the denotation Deutsches Reich quickly fell into disuse in Allied-Occupied Germany.
