Depeche Mode stamp sets from Croatia :

The Government of the Independent State of Croatia in emigration and HOP issued official stamps until 1972 (according to some, until 1976).

Private editions were the work of individual patriots or similar organizations and associations, but they were not recognized by the government of the Independent State of Croatia in emigration.

None of them were recognized by the postal authorities, so they were not in public use, although they appear on some letters, which nevertheless passed postal control even if the Independent State of Croatia was still a member of the UPU, because the Independent State of Croatia is legally and existed after 1945. The Independent State of Croatia never capitulated to the Yugoslav occupier! It was occupied, and the successor of the Yugoslav occupation is the Republic of Croatia.

The World Postal Union (UPU) was established in 1874 in Paris and is one of the world's oldest organizations. Today, more than 200 countries are members of the UPU.

It is interesting that in several UPU documents it can be proven that in them Croatia, as a part of Austria-Hungary, has been a member of the UPU since July 1, 1885!

The Independent State of Croatia became a member of the UPU (Union Postale Universelle) on April 14, 1942 and after World War II., the Independent State of Croatia never stopped being a member of the UPU.

That is why those editions of the government of the Independent State of Croatia in emigration are regular and should be in the Michel catalog.

With the capitulation to the Axis powers, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia ceased to exist in 1941, but in the Michel catalog, for example, you can find fantasy editions of some kind of "Yugoslav government in exile" from London. The same thing with the criminal SAO Krajina, which can also be found in Michel catalogs and which was not recognized by any country in the world, not even by Serbia itself.

At the Croatian government in Buenos Aires and Madrid, there was a Croatian reporting service with a philatelic department, which designed and issued stamps.

The primary goal of issuing stamps was to collect funds for various purposes.

Commemorative and commemorative stamps try to snatch from oblivion certain events from the distant and recent Croatian past, at the same time pointing to the aspirations of the Croatian people for their independence and at the same time waging a silent war against communism.

Symbols and images on stamps in emigration arouse patriotic and anti-communist feelings.

The publishing company "Domovina" from Madrid registers in its catalogs all the publications of the government of the Independent State of Croatia in emigration until 1975.

The first edition from 1964 was edited by Dr. Branko Marić, and the second in 1976 by Višnja Pavelić, the daughter of Poglavnik Dr. Ante Pavelić.

The stamps were sold to stamp dealers in the USA, Canada, South America and Western Europe who further distributed them around the world.

That's how some stamps reached Croatia.

The main distribution centers were in Buenos Aires, Madrid and Damascus, Syria, where the offices of the croatian government in emigration were located.

The aim of the private issues of Croatian stamps was also the promotion of Croatia, the collection of funds for various patriotic needs and actions, but speculative work is also not excluded.

Stamps were printed, sold, bought and collected. No one in the world issues stamps without a good financial performance, regardless of the purposes for which the profits will be used.

For the editions of the HSS, the Croatian Philatelic Society from Sydney, the London newspaper "Nova Hrvatska", the Croatian Franciscans from Pennsylvania and the "Croatian Social Welfare" from New York, it would be difficult to claim that their primary reasons are exclusively speculation.

Another case is with the series of UPU, birds, flowers, especially Mostar of 500 kn and some others that were issued by private hands.

Only a few informations are known about this private issue of the Independent State of Croatia, which was printed - as to see at the stamps - in the year 1993.

First time they was sold at the Civijetni trg in Zagreb in spring 1994 and they can be found till today sometimes at Junk markets and Antique markets in Zagreb.

The stamps was also sold in front of the concert locations of Depeche Mode in Zagreb and some other countrys around Croatia where the band have played, for example in Zagreb in the year 2001.
