Military ranks of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania

The Military ranks of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania were the military insignia used by the Albanian People's Army. After the Second World War, the Military ranks of the Albanian Kingdom were abandoned and replaced with insignia and ranks inspired by the Soviet military ranks.[1] Albania used these ranks until May 1966, when military ranks were abolished altogether following Chinese example and based on doctrines of guerilla warfare.[2]
