“The sacrifices of our people were very great. Out of a population of one million, 28,000 were killed, 12,600 wounded, 10,000 were made political prisoners in Italy and Germany, and 35,000 made to do forced labour, of ground; all the communications, all the ports, mines and electric power installations were destroyed, our agriculture and livestock were plundered, and our entire national economy was wrecked.” PeopleMadePoliticalMillionsEconomySacrificeMinesCommunicationPopulationDestroyedGermanyLabourPrisonerElectricAgricultureWoundedPortLivestockInstallationPolitical PrisonersNational EconomyElectric Power Author:Enver Hoxha
