Kingdom of Albania

In 1939, the Albanian Kingdom was invaded by Italy and became the Italian protectorate of Albania. It participated in the Greco-Italian War in 1940, under Italian command. After the Italian armistice in 1943, German military forces entered Albania, and it came under German occupation. Albanian troops were mostly equipped by Italians, and Albanian partisans used weapons from various sources.
