Information from the archives show that there was no ‘battle” against the Polish mail boxes in Danzig. There were only a few incidents that are hardly worth mentioning, but were blown out of proportion for propaganda purposes.

In this article, photos of several different Polish mailboxes in Danzig have been used. The exact sites are mentioned wherever possible. For some of them, it is not known on which site a particular mail box was located. Also, it is possible that Polish mail boxes are visible bn other photos or postc ards of the city of Danzig. The photo (Illustration 3) and the card of the Polish Railways Administrat ion (Illustration 24) prove this. I would be grateful to receive further pictures and information on (the
sites of) the mail boxes. . . .
