> 20 grammes ► only two German postage stamps are valid in Danzig, and, in addition, in the postal traffic to Germany only: the stamps in celebration of Danzig's annexation (Mi. 714 and 715). Other mail has to be franked with Danzig stamps. Mixed frankings are not allowed. The population of Danzig can choose whether they frank with the two German stamps, as far as the rate they need can be put together out of them, or frank with Danzig stamps. To prevent misunderstandings I call the German Pfennig Reichspfennig. The official exchange rate is: 1 Danziger Gulden = 70 Reichspfennig. Nonetheless letters with other German stamps and mixed frankings do occur. These frankings are always tailor-made by philatelists for philatelists. Airmail service is not available during this period |

> 20 grammes ► until 01-01-1940 only Danzig stamps with an overprint ‘Deutsches Reich’ (Mi. 716-729) and both stamps in celebration of Danzig's annexation (Mi. 714 en 715) are officially valid in Danzig, although frankings with other German stamps do occur (often with philatelic motives). The overprints are specially made for Danzig, though they are valid in the rest of Germany from 22-10-1939. Outside Danzig they can only be bought at the Versandstelle für Sammlermarken in Berlin. Only after 01-01-1940 all German stamps may be legally used in Danzig ► inland rate (with some modifications) applies to mail to Luxemburg (de facto annexed on 06‑08‑1940). From the outset mail to the occupied territories in the east may be sent at inland rate. Mail to the General-Gouvernement, for instance, from 01‑12‑1939, mail to the Ostland from 19‑08‑1941, mail to Ukraine from 09‑12‑1941.

The city is handed to Poland. On 05‑04‑1945 already the Polish mail service opens a post office. On 17‑05‑1945 the first mail is carried |
