The Albanian casualties of WWII according the official numbers declared by the government is at 27,000, including those that were killed by the albanians that were collaborating with the germans.

Thanks. Does this figure also include Albabian Waffen SS voluteers?

Also, where there any casualties during the Italian occupation?

These are the figures of those that resisted Italian and German occupation. Regarding the Waffen SS, they were from Kosova, not from Albania so their losses weren't recorded by the Albanians since Kosova got back to the Yugoslavs. These figures include only the Albanians from Albania proper and those that fought against the occupation.

OK, thank you very much again. It is for a friend who has a project at the university.
