The border area of Eastern Germany and the Southern part of the former state of East Prussia, were occupied by the Polish Communist government. The Northern part of East Prussia was annexed to the Soviet Union.
During the Summer of 1945, the Soviet Zone of occupation took control of West Saxony. Western Saxony was conquered by American troops, under the command of General Patton, in April 1945, and Eastern Saxony, at the same time, was occupied by Soviet troops. The agreement on post-war occupation zones, during the Potsdam Conference, provided that the entire state of Saxony would come under Soviet control. As such, West Saxony was transferred to the Soviets, by the American occupation forces. In 1949, West Saxony became part of the German Democratic Republic or East Germany, and in 1990, after the unification, it became part of the Republic of Germany. Though all of the stamps of West Saxony, under Soviet occupation, are inscribed \"Deutsche Post\", they were issued for use exclusively in West Saxony.
