Following the German invasion of France in 1940, French postage continued to be used throughout most of the country.

German-issued postage was limited to two general types — provisional postage issued during the initial stags of the occupation to compensate for a shortage of regular postage, and provisional issues used during the closing stages of the occupation, when resupply was limited due to the Allied advance.
