North Macedonia (German Occupation) 1944 Issue
North Macedonia · 1944 · 60 Stotinki
This stamp is an overprint on a Bulgarian definitive stamp from 1942, which features a portrait of Tsar Boris III. The overprint reads 'МАКЕДОНИЯ' (Macedonia) and '17-IX-1944' in Cyrillic script, marking the German occupation of the region during World War II.
Issued during the brief German occupation of Macedonia in September 1944, these stamps were created by overprinting existing Bulgarian issues. They were in use for a very short period before the area was liberated by partisans.
