Croatia 1942 Independence Anniversary Set

Croatia · 1942 · 2, 5, 10 Kuna

This set of three stamps, issued by the Independent State of Croatia in 1942, commemorates the first anniversary of its establishment. The designs feature prominent Croatian landmarks: the Zagreb Cathedral, an old bridge (likely in Mostar), and the scenic Plitvice Lakes.

These stamps were issued by the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), a fascist puppet state established during World War II, allied with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. The stamps reflect the state's attempt to legitimize its existence and promote national identity through its iconic landmarks.
