Yugoslavia postage stamps year 1946 Partisans set MNH

The year 1946 in Yugoslavia saw the release of several commemorative and definitive stamp sets. The “Partisans set” likely refers to the Definitive Issue: Partisan Motives stamps released in January 1947, though they depict themes directly related to the Partisan struggle and were a follow-up to earlier issues.

For the year 1946, major sets related to the post-war situation and reconstruction included:

• First Anniversary of the End of World War II (May 1946): A set of 3 stamps (Michel/Scott catalog numbers are used for identification).
• Volunteer Railway Construction Brčko-Banovići (August 1946): A set of 4 stamps.
• Centenary of the Birth of Svetozar Marković (September 1946): A set of 2 stamps.
• Pan-Slavic Congress in Belgrade (December 1946): A set of 4 stamps.

The definitive issue depicting “Partisan Motives” which often includes images of resistance fighters, Tito, and revolutionary scenes, was actually released a little later, starting in January 1947.

To identify the specific set you are referring to, you might check for:

• The specific images on the stamps (e.g., soldiers, Tito, national emblem, scenes of battle or resistance).
• The face values or denominations (e.g., 2.50 din, 5 din, etc.).
• The catalogue numbers (Michel, Scott, Yvert & Tellier) if you have them.
