Introduction

The British Islands of Guernsey & Jersey were occupied by German Forces 1 July 1940 to 8 May 1945. During occupation, post office operation with exchange of mail on each island or between islands continued using British Postage until such was exhausted. In October 1940, local production of postage stamps for local use was decided (printed by two local & one French printing plants) recognized by British Postal Officials, even after liberation, remaining valid for use until 13 April 1946.
