Guernsey's German occupation notes occupy a strange administrative space: issued under British Crown authority by the island's own States, but printed locally under German military oversight after supply lines to the mainland were severed. The 2/6 denomination on blue paper is the scarcest colour variety of P#25, distinguished from the pink and white issues by what was simply available at the time — the island's printers worked with whatever stock remained.
Paper colour was functional, not decorative. Shortages drove everything.
