MICHEL 715
REINTEGRATION of DANZIG
Having invaded Polish territory on the 1st of September 1939 the German Army quickly occupied the free city of Danzig (modern day Gdansk). These two stamps issued on 18th September were in celebration of Danzig returning to the Reich. There is quite a large variation in shades for these two stamps.
There was a special 'Liberation Postmark' that exists in black, violet and blue-violet, some of them did actually go throught the postal system but the majority exist as C.T.O (cancelled to order) specimens aimed at stamp collectors. There is another less common postmark that is usually found with a normal city-date cancel. These stamps were produced on coated, swastika watermarked paper (10x5) and were Perf K14.
