These stamps were issued on isolated island (Insel in German) during world war II. See also http://www.ebay.de/gds/feldpost-echt/10000000001311260/g.html for information on forgeries.
A stamp with inscription 'DEUTSCHE FELDPOST durch Uboot' was issued:
Forgery of this U-boot stamp
I have seen many (modern) forgeries of this stamp on documents addressed to 'Untere Apotheke Dr. OTTO SEITER EDENKOBEN (Pfalz) Fernsprecher 140'. These documents exist in many types and colours. The forgeries always bear the cancel 'GEHEIME - FELD - DIENSTPOST Ge. Sta. Po.' with an eagle in the center (as shown above).
