German Occupation of France WW2 Dunkirk Mi. 1 I, Euros 7500  Very High Value!!!!DUNKIRK 1940 The German commandant authorised permission for an overprint for French stamps in the Dunkirk area. The overprint was in a box with the words "Besetztes Gebiet Nordfrankreich" (Occupation area, Northern France) and the overprint was carried over two ajoining postage stamps, with a hand stamp. The rest of France continued to use normal French stamps without overprint, which brings the reasoning behind the overprint into question.
