1945 ZAGREB, The earliest known mail

Zagreb was liberated on 8th May 1945. The Communists immediately closed all post offices and suspended postal traffic. No official documents are known regarding the operation of the post office at that time and nothing is known about the date of the re-establishment of postal services...

Rare censor cancellation CENZUR-ZAGREB. 1st of Jun 1945 is the earliest known date for a shipment after the Communists took power and suspended all postal traffic.
