The Transadriatic route was established sometime in the early summer of 1944. Censorship was a joint task between Yugoslav and Allied forces. The earliest known Transadriatic censored item is a letter shown below...
1944 Transadriatic mail, letter sent from Bari (10.VII.44) to Split, censored in Bari by censor No. 603. The sealing label "Examined by Allied Transadriatic Censorship" is used. At that time, Split was still occupied by the German army, so partisan couriers organized local delivery to recipients. The recipient's name and address have been blacked out for security reasons before delivery.
