SCW Commemorative Medals

[hunyadi]

Just posting some of the commemorative medals created for the veterans of the SCW. These are from the socialist states after the war so I dont know if this the proper place - moderator feel free to move.

Sorry for the dodgy photos - these are in a friends collection, I had no tripod and a table that shook like a fault line in SanFransisco...

First up - Poland

I believe that this is a Polish badge? I have a photo of a Hungarian Partisan who was the leader of the Hungarian Political Police (Tompe) who is wearing this badge in 1946.
