The Polish Post Office (Poczta Polska) in the Free City of Danzig (Gdansk) was created in 1920 and operated until the German invasion of Poland that marked the beginning of World War II. (The Nazi warship Schleswig Holstein opened fire on the Polish outpost of Westerplatte.)
The post was established in Danzig (Gdansk) under the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, and its buildings were considered extraterritorial Polish property.
They used Polish stamps overprinted PORT GDANSK.
The Polish Post Office in Danzig comprised several buildings, originally built as a German military hospital.
In 1930 the "Gdansk 1" building on Hevelius Platz (square) in the Danziger Altstadt (Old Town) became the primary Polish post office, with a direct telephone line to Poland. In 1939 it employed slightly over 100 people.
Some employees at the Polish Post Office belonged to a self-defence and security organization, and many were also members of the Polish Zwiazek Strzelecki (Riflemen's Association).
According to the testimony of Edmund Charaszkiewicz, the Polish Post Office was from 1935 an important component of the Polish Intelligence organization, "Group Zygmunt".
