paja Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Greetings, I believe that this is a very rare document. Interesting thing is that It was issued on 20th of October 1944, the day when the capital of Yugoslavia, Belgrade was liberated thanks to Soviet Red Army! Translation: HEADQUARTERS 5th STRIKING DIVISION 1st proletarian corps N(ational) L(iberation) A(rmy) of Yugoslavia Number: 272-1944 Station (Position?), 20th October 1944 LEGITIMATION For comrade . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . who joined partisans in the 1941 and earned a right to wear "SPOMENICA 1941" DEATH TO FASCISM, FREEDOM TO THE PEOPLE! Commissioner of the personnel department lieutenant colonel, End of translation. Kind regards, Radmilo Edited February 12, 2013 by paja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Hi Radmilo! Thanks so very much on the translation. I very much appreciate the help. I am thrilled to have this document as I did assume it to be pretty hard to find. The nicest thing for me was how early it is and not a later political award. A true partisan received this one. Again, my many thanks! Edited February 13, 2013 by Stogieman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 You are most welcome, and thank you for sharing this great find with us! Considering that the year is 1944 he must have got the 1st type of the decoration, the rarer one made by the Soviets. Now that you've mentioned that the order was received by a true partisan, I've heard that later in order to receive this decoration you only needed two witnesses to confirm that you were in the partisan movement from the beginning. Kind regards, Radmilo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
