As they were sent through the post office then it might be worth asking the Museum and Archive if no one on here knows...

There's a category in the USA archives for "Kriegszeit Dokumenten" (= wartime documents) - abbreviated as KZD - but, even tho' that's clearly the correct time-frame, I find it inconceivable that anyone would send a loving greeting within wartime Britain with a German link like that.
It could be an agreed message between the two, of course. Something like "KisseZ Darling". But that would take a lot of working out!
... Oh, and I join the admiration club for such a lovely thing.

If, as Barbara and I have suggested, it's an abbreviated message akin to SWALK, then this site may be able to help:
SWALK
- unless it's personally devised and unique.
There's this page, WWII Postal Acronyms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, but it doesn't include KZD.

The more I think about it, the more likely a code seems. If you knew you were going to have to send messages for all to see, you'd ant to be able to send personal messages without them being censored. It would make sense to agree something before you parted.
