Yugoslavia year 1981 stamps – WWII Partisan Weapons full set**

During World War II, partisan groups fighting against Axis occupation in various countries relied on a wide range of weapons, often sourced from captured enemy supplies, smuggled arms, or homemade weapons. Here are some of the commonly used weapons by partisan fighters:

Bolt-Action Rifles: Partisans often used bolt-action rifles, which were widely available and relatively simple to use and maintain. Examples include the Mosin-Nagant, Mauser Karabiner 98k, Lee-Enfield, and Springfield M1903.

Submachine Guns: Submachine guns were favored for their compact size and rapid-fire capabilities, making them effective in close-quarters combat. Common models included the Soviet PPSh-41 and PPS-43, German MP40, British Sten gun, and American Thompson submachine gun (Tommy gun).

Automatic Rifles: Automatic rifles provided partisan fighters with the firepower needed to engage enemy forces effectively. Examples include the Soviet SVT-40, German Sturmgewehr 44 (StG 44), and American Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR).

Handguns: Handguns were often carried by partisan leaders and used as backup weapons. Common models included the Soviet TT-33, German Luger P08, Colt M1911, and various revolvers.

Explosives: Partisans used improvised explosive devices (IEDs), grenades, and mines to ambush enemy patrols, destroy infrastructure, and disrupt enemy operations. These explosives were often handmade using readily available materials.

Melee Weapons: In close combat situations, partisan fighters sometimes relied on melee weapons such as knives, bayonets, and even improvised weapons like clubs and axes.

Captured Enemy Weapons: Partisans frequently captured and repurposed enemy weapons and equipment, including rifles, submachine guns, and grenades. These captured arms were often used alongside their own weapons.

Communication Equipment: Partisan groups also relied on communication equipment such as radios and field telephones to coordinate operations and gather intelligence.
