The flag used by the Democratic Government of Albania, which was the first ruling government following the [[National Liberation Movement (Albania)|war of liberation]], was published for the first time in the War Bulletin of National Liberation ({{langx|sq|Buletin i Luftës Nacional-Çlirimtare}}), [[:commons:File:Buletin i Luftës Nacional-Çlirimtare (28 Nëntor 1944).jpg|issue nr.51]] dated 28 November 1944. The usage of this specific flag is widely seen in public events and military court sessions. It has also been confirmed in the 1980 publication by the [[Marxism–Leninism|Marxist-Leninist]] Studies Institute titled "Epopeja e Luftës Antifashiste Nacionalçlirimtare e Popullit Shqiptar 1939–1944". Prior to this, a transient flag of a different contour with moderately outstretched wings was used at the [[Congress of Përmet]] and subsequently at the first Anti-Fascist Youth Congress (BRASH).<ref>{{cite book |title=Epopeja e Luftës Antifashiste Nacionalçlirimtare e Popullit Shqiptar 1939–1944 |date=1980 |publisher=Shtëpia Botuese "8 Nëntori" |url=http://www.enverhoxha.ru/Archive_of_books/Archive/epopeja_e_luftes_antifashiste_nacionalclirimtare_e_popullit_shqiptar_1939_1944.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160820105341/http://www.enverhoxha.ru/Archive_of_books/Archive/epopeja_e_luftes_antifashiste_nacionalclirimtare_e_popullit_shqiptar_1939_1944.pdf |archive-date=2016-08-20 |url-status=live}}</ref>
