LJP, A letter from Tivat

After the Italian occupation of Montenegro and the province of Ljubljana in 1941, the post between these regions was a domestic mail. However, due to the war circumstances and the censorship centres, the shipment routes were quite complicated...

Express registered letter, franked with 3 Lire, sent from Tivat (5.IX.41) to Novo Mesto (14.IX.41), censored in Bologna, transit via Munich and Trieste.

The cancellations show a complicated route:
 
5.IX.41 TIVAT / ТИВАТ
9.9.41 BOLOGNA FERROVIA RACCOMANDATE / TURNO B
11.9.41 MÜNCHEN / HAUPSTADT DER BEWEGUNG
12.9.41 TRIESTE CORRISP. E PACCHI / (ARR. PART. RACC. B)
14.IX.41 NOVO MESTO / [LUBIANA]
