Greece 1945 'Ohi Day' Anniversary

Greece · 1945 · 2 Drachma & 4 Drachma

This set of two stamps commemorates the fifth anniversary of 'Ohi Day' (No Day). The design depicts a Greek Evzone soldier defiantly shouting 'No!' against a backdrop of the Greek flag, symbolizing the nation's rejection of the Italian ultimatum in 1940.

Issued in October 1945, these stamps honor Greece's refusal to allow Axis powers to occupy its territory, which marked the country's entry into World War II on the side of the Allies.
