	Emblem of Albania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Emblem of Albania is an adaptation of the Flag of Albania.
		The emblem above the head of the two-headed eagle is the helmet of Skanderbeg, surmounted with goats' horns.
		It is sometimes considered to violate the rule of tincture, because in English and French heraldry, sable (fl) is considered a colour, whereas elsewhere it is often considered a fur.

		Skanderbeg managed to unite all Albanian princes at the town of Lezha (League of Lezha, 1444) under his command to fight against the Turks.
		The original helmet is preserved in Vienna (Austria), and a replica is shown in the Skanderbeg Museum in Kruja.
		The helmet bears goat horns, and the legend says that Skanderbeg used goat horns because he was able to climb upon rocks like a goat to set up ambushes against the Turkish troops.

		The Helmet of Prince George Kastrioti known as Skanderbeg (1448-1468) is generally considered to be the major piece of Albanian regalia.
		It was worn by Prince Skanderbeg, Albanian national hero and leader of the Albanians in 15th century.
		In 1928 King Zog I planned to be crowned with it but since Skanderbeg's helmet and sword remained in possession of a museum in Vienna and yet the Austrians refused to hand them over to the king, Zog I had to give up the idea of being crowned with the Helmet of Skanderbeg.

		In 1444, Skanderbeg managed to unite under his command all Albanian princes gathered in the town of Lezha, and formed the League of Lezha to fight against the Turks.
		Skanderbeg died in 1468 and Kruja was eventually seized on 16 June 1478.
		The president and dictator Amet Zogu proclaimed himself king Zog I. Now the eagle in the flag is surmounted by Skanderbeg's helmet in gold, which served as the royal crown.

	Flag of Albania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The national flag of Albania is a base red flag with a fl two-headed eagle in the centre.
		It is derived from the similar seal of Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg, a 15th century Albanian who led the revolt against the Ottoman Empire that resulted in brief independence for Albania from 1443 to 1478.
		The current flag was officially adopted on April 7, 1992, but previous Albanian states such as the Kingdom of Albania and the post-war communist state had used much the same flag, with the former sporting the "Helmet of Skanderbeg" above the eagle and the latter a red star with a yellow rim.

	A History of Europe, Chapter 9
		Skanderbeg's real name was George Kastrioti (1403?-1468), but nowadays we usually call him by the Albanian version of his Turkish nickname (Iskander Bey, meaning Alexander the Great).
		The son of an Albanian prince, he was sent to the Ottoman Turks as a hostage, where like the sultan's elite force of ex-Christians, the Janissaries, he was educated as a Moslem and enlisted in the army.
		Upon his death, Albania collapsed and was reconquered; the Albanians, who until now had been Orthodox Christians, converted to Islam without too much pressure over the course of the next century, and thus managed to secure for themselves a place as the sultan's favorite European subjects.

		As far as I am aware, there are several other cuff-titles which are only known from the Dachau find: Skanderbeg, General Seyffardt, Nederland, De Ruiter, for example, some of which were issued and photographed in wear but some of which appear never to have been issued.

		For Albanians, Skanderbeg was undoubtedly the No. 1 Albanian of history, and he was the one Albanian who, with his heroic beard and his goat-horned helmet, had been known to me all my life as a face on a postage stamp.
		The scene of Skanderbeg's most celebrated exploit was the ruined fortress of Krujë, in central Albania, epically sited on a mountainside looking across a plain to the distant Adriatic.
		For all across that wide landscape, and much the most compelling feature of it, were the thousands and thousands of concrete pillboxes, egg-shaped, like so many gray-white igloos, which the dictator had caused to be constructed throughout the length and breadth of his country.

		When this type of honor title was used in the case of foreign formations, usually historical figures from the appropriate country were used, like “Skanderbeg” for the Albanian division or “De Ruiter” for a Dutch formation.
		The goat-head helmet worn by Skanderbeg was also adopted as the symbol for the division’s collar patch, although this saw no or only limited use.
