There was occupation in WWII, Germans, Italians, Hungarians, Bulgarians, Albanian, all coming to occupy Yugoslavia! Killing and destruction all around!
Happened that Belgrade (capital city of Yugoslavia, and today Serbia) was on the target from all sides!
To liberate Belgrade in WWII, Yugoslavian Army lost 2950 fighters, and Soviet Union lost 960, can You imagine which forces of killing was there?
Germans Army, that departed from Greece, lost some 17 000 soldiers, just in Battle of Belgrade, this facts show us how important this event is also today!
Stamp come out to the market on Oct. 20, 2014, with one interesting format of two stamp in sheet, one (lower value) stamp show us bombed Belgrade in WWII, and second (highest value) is today's Belgrade, as modern, rebuilt open city!
I was there before two year, and can just recommended it to the all readers: INCLUDE this city to Your traveling destination!

Nice set of stamps.
That reminds me of the photos of Normandy taken during WWII shown alongside modern photos as shown here:

Also images from old photos superimposed on modern photos as here:
