| Abstract: | The then German Commandant had ordered the Postmaster of Jersey to have British stamps overprinted with a swastika plus the words Jersey 1940 - with the swastika so centred that it covered the King's head. This was, in fact, actually done by the local printers, Bigwoods but the Bailiff of Jersey protested so strongly to the Berlin authorities that the latter ordered the stamps to be destroyed; they were never issued and very few of them escaped.
