Based on the 1941 Treaty of Rome, Hvar remained integral to the Independent State of Croatia. At the end of 1943, the National Liberation Committee took over the island, which lasted only a short period. On 19 January 1944, the 2nd Battalion of the 738th Regiment of the German 118 Hunting Division descended on Hvar. There is not much information about the postal service operation during that time. Postal items are scarce...
Letter from the Episcopal Ordinary of the island of Hvar, sent from Hvar (11.XII.43) to Humac Donji, Nerežišće island of Brač, censored by partisans on Hvar. This is the only such letter that I have seen so far.
