Hermann Neubacher held a diplomatic post as an Austrian Nazi politician in the Albanian Kingdom, when it was under the control of the Kingdom of Italy.
 During the Second World War, he was appointed as the leading German foreign ministry official for the Balkans (including Greece, Serbia, Albania and Montenegro). 
The Albanian Kingdom (Albanian: "Mbretria Shqiptare", German: "Knigreich Albanien") existed as a "de jure" independent country, between 1943 and 1944. 
 Before the armistice between Italy and the Allied armed forces on 8 September 1943, Albania had been in a de jure personal union with and was de facto under the control of the Kingdom of Italy.
