The occupied territories in Germany were subordinate to the military government of the respective armed forces from the beginning. The mail traffic was completely cut off on the day of the occupation. Postal traffic between the four occupation zones was resumed from October 24th, 1945, and a joint post office with its own stamps was set up in the American and British zones, called "Allied Military Mail". The entire collection area of the American, British zone includes only 58 stamps and 1 block pair.
