Slovenia: Franja Partisan Hospital

On 26th November I got three postcards including one from Slovenia. 

It shows the Franja Partisan Hospital. The Franja Partisan Hospital was a secret World War II hospital run by the Slovene Partisans from December 1943 until the end of the war. Although both Allied and Axis soldiers were treated in the hospital, it was never discovered by the Wehrmacht. It is preserved as a museum and got the European Heritage Label in 2014.

The stamp is from a set of five about Wine Cellars and Stores (issued 13-07-2020). It was cancelled in Celje, the third-largest city in Slovenia.


Thank You very much Martin!
