DEUTSCHES REICHPOST on 18 September 1939 the Third Reich issued two stamps proclaiming "Danzig ist Deutsch".
At the beginning of September 1939, the Danzig Nazi Party leader, Albert Forster, entered the League of Nations High Commissioner's residence and ordered him to leave the city. The Freistadt Danzig ceased to exist as an independent political entity. The former Free City was formally incorporated into the German Third Reich as part of the newly-formed Reichsgau of Danzig-West Prussia.
