Brand: Albania

Albania · 1940 ·

This is a series of fantasy or 'cinderella' stamps purportedly issued by the 'Komitetit Te Qindreses' (Committee of the Resistance) in Albania. These labels were created for collectors and propaganda purposes and were not valid for postage. The designs often feature patriotic and anti-fascist themes related to the resistance movement during World War II.

Following the Italian invasion in 1939, various Albanian resistance groups emerged. These fantasy issues were produced during and after the war, capitalizing on philatelic interest in the conflict and the struggle for Albanian independence.
