Czechoslovakia 1945 – 1965 liberation medal mounted for wear.

Piece of dried glue to the mouning bar.
This medal commemorates the 20th anniversary of the liberation of Czechoslovakia, which occurred in 1945 at the end of World War II. Such medals were often awarded to military personnel and civilians who contributed to the war effort or participated in the liberation. The imagery of a rifle and laurel wreath symbolizes the armed struggle and the subsequent peace and freedom.

Czechoslovakia, as a nation, endured significant hardship during the war, being occupied by Nazi Germany. The liberation was a pivotal moment, and commemorative awards like this served to honor that achievement and remember those who fought for it. The specific text on the medal, ‘ZA ZASLUHY VE BOJI PROTI FAŠISMU’ (For merits in the fight against fascism), further solidifies its historical context.
Circa 1965.
