81 years since the creation of the First Assault Brigade in Albania in 1943, with commander Mehmet Shehu. This brigade was formed in Makërz of Vithkuq.
The brigade represents the first combat formation established by the General Staff of the National Liberation Army, under the command of Spiro Moisiu.
This brigade, which brought fame and recognition to the fight for freedom, holds great significance, not only because it was the first partisan brigade, the first large unit of the Albanian National Liberation Army, but also because it embodied the entire National Liberation Army itself, as it was composed of partisans from all regions of Albania.
