Commemorative badge of the guerrilla group "the Monk"
Commemorative badge of the guerrilla group "Monk"

This interesting badge, which is definitely not a badge guerrilla group partially approach it and try to even explain its emergence. The badge will surely remember our parents, where appropriate, the citizens of the village MONK, but no use, despite the fact that we will try to explain, it's probably still talking about the partisan group the Monk.

The resistance and the hard struggle against the enemy, and that the units of "SS", really existed, the guerrillas showed courage and tenacity in the fight for which, however, have paid with their lives.
Mr. Václav Měřička, in its publication stating the proven facts, which is the free form of trying to describe it.

The end of the war was completely sure and certain was it, that is the possibility of this end to speed things up. Guerrilla staff with the title "the Threshold" planned the event that would capture a larger number of German soldiers. Was vytipována the village Monk, where there was a garrison of soldiers in the strength of the company. The event was planned for the night from 5. may 6.may 1945. The actual capture of the soldiers and the surrender of the commander of the unit was successful, but randomly the retreating group of front-line troops, and here were members of the SS, has taken the fight to free the captured soldiers (who surrendered with it is completely possible that he is the commander of the SS units left to execute). The fight was hard, the guerrillas brave SS troops who were retreating into German captivity in the battle killed 10 Czech and 2 soviet partisans. Even in 1945, is the common grave of the heroes marked with a plaque and each year in may at the site of the battle, in the village of Monk performed a memorial and commemorative events. In 1950 he was made for the participants of the commemorative event badge, which was at the same time the ticket and reminder. Perhaps from all this arises the idea of a partisan section of the MONK.

Description of the badge:

Avers:
Badge has a form and shape of a classic military chute, which is profiled.
The height of the badge is 71 mm, in the upper part of the canopy is wide 33mm and in his the bottom of the 21.5 mm. The canopy is very plastic, parachute cords are credible and profiled, and in its termination there is a small circular medallion with a diameter of 21 mm in the center of which is a small five-pointed star with the symbolic hammer and sickle. The upper edge of the medallion is the inscription: "MONK 1950". The star is framed by půlvěncem of laurel leaves.

Reverse:
From the back of the badge is to see that the badge is rather pressed and there are naletovány two wires to fit on the garment.

One of the versions tells us that the badge was in the 1950's actually some sort of ticket, another us known version issued a badge for the commemorative medal issued to the fifth annual guerrilla action..
