People´s Republic of Poland awards / ポーランド人民共和国勲章

Like East Germany, Poland retained most of their national monarchic symbols and military traditions, such as the White Eagle and the awards shown here. Typical communist symbols were present too, but their presence was very little and weak compared to the pre-war ones. Here are some examples of this.

ORDER "POLONIA RESTITUTA" 5TH CLASS, SOCIALIST ERA VERSION.

ポローニア·レスティツータ(ポーランド復興)勲章  五等  (社会主義時代版)

 The socialist version differs from the monarchy and republic versions on the crown of the white eagle, removing it from the order. / 王国と共和時代版と違って、社会主義時代版の白鷲が冠かぶってない。

The reverse shows "1944", the year when the uprising against german occupation began. / 裏に"1944"書いてある。1944年はポーランド人民の反乱が始まった時。
