Do you know the history about the stamp Mi 178? Was it ever used?

  Stamp “May 1” Mi178 was in use only 7 days before the entry of the Yugoslav Army in Zagreb, so that very few stamps were used in postal use only in vicinity of Zagreb and in the city itself

    Thank You for your answer. Do you know why the pro-german regime designed a stamp in favor of the 1. of may, which is usually a socialist and workingclass-fightingday?
