<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 4497, member: 39&quot;]The date on the medal refers to when pre-WW2 Czechoslovakia was split; Slovakia became (formally) independent while Czechia became part of Germany (Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren) and was occupied by German military. What is a bit odd, though, is that the inscriptions are partly in Czech (<i>pravda zvitezi</i>, ie. <i>the truth will prevail</i>, and the country name), partly in English (the date, and the <i>Czechoslovakia shall be free again</i> motto). Guess the piece was issued by/for Czechoslovakians in exile, possibly the UK ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
