German Field Post Office 372

While Broad Street Post Office remained in operation, adapting its services under intense scrutiny, a new postal entity appeared in January 1941: German Field Post Office 372. Housed at 12–14 Beresford Street, this facility served the needs of the occupying forces exclusively and functioned independently from Jersey’s General Post Office.

The two systems operated in uneasy parallel, one serving civilians, the other the military. German soldiers received and sent mail through their own secure channels, bypassing local staff entirely. Despite this separation, the original Broad Street Post Office remained the beating heart of communication for islanders, with its staff continuing their duties under constant surveillance, upholding integrity and reliability in a time of mistrust.
