Denmark fell to German occupation in April 1940, severing Greenland's supply lines and administrative ties to Copenhagen almost immediately. The island's Danish governor, Eske Brun, effectively ran Greenland as an autonomous territory under American protection for the duration of the war — a genuinely unusual arrangement that required local monetary improvisation. These small cardboard emergency pieces were produced to cover the gap left by the interruption of normal currency supply from the metropole.
The overprint distinguishes this from the base issue, though both circulated within the same constrained wartime economy of a territory that had, for practical purposes, gone off on its own.
