Zara was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until early November 1918 when it was taken over by Italian forces. After the war the area became an Italian enclave on Yugoslav territory. After the official announcement of the signing of an armistice with the Allies on 8 September 1943, the Dalmatian area under Italian control was taken over by the Germans. Although formally still under the administration of Mussolini’s R.S.I., Zara was actually under German control. On November 4, 1943, a new group of Italian definitives, war propaganda and special delivery stamps were overprinted by a continuous overprint “ZARA” within bands of lines.
The evacuation of the urban area was concluded on 31 December 31, 1943. On 31 October 1944 German forces withdrew from the area and Yugoslav partisans took over; in January 1945 it was annexed to Yugoslavia, a unilateral move that received formal approval with the 10 February 1947 Treaty of Paris. Although not listed by Scott, the stamps of the German occupation of Zara are listed by most major catalogues, including Michel.
