Badge 1. čs. the revolutionary tank units

The occupation of the CZECHOSLOVAK republic, and an affront to the people who lived in humiliation logically resulted in the uprising of the population of large cities, small towns and small villages. The atmosphere of Prague and the mood of the Residents was in the may days of euphoric, full of passion and enthusiasm from the upcoming freedom and so it is quite understandable that the 5. may, Prague is defiant and struggling.

It's kind of interesting that after 1945 failed to captured German generals and political leaders of the nazi regime to understand this situation, this condition, because their thinking remains preserved in the period of the Munich agreement in 1938 with the Czechs and Moravané enjoy the benefits of protection III. empire before the hardships of the war. It is certain that it is the basic contradiction in the understanding and evaluation of the combat performance of ordinary Czechs and Moravians against the nazi arbitrariness.

Day 5. in may 1945, the workers in the smíchov Skoda take up the heavy equipment of the wehrmacht and even same day repairs and dispatched to fight the first fighter pilot to tank, another machine followed by a later and the last third fighter in the struggle involved in the Sunday 6. may 1945. Unit three fighters concentrated in the Štefanikových the barracks, partly dozbrojena with your crew rushes to help fighting the defenders of the Radio. One of the machines involved in the fighting of the building, where dwelt the prague GESTAPO and another fighter pilot from 6. may to 8. may provide assistance and cover to the militants and barikádníkům in Zizkov. The unit is also engaged in the fighting on the hospital of the SS who was stationed in The school.

Right in the beginning of the rebellion it was occupied by another factory, where he repaired military wheeled and tracked technique. It's about the Českomoravská Kolben-Daněk. There were a total of nine units of military equipment and workers after the nocturnal repair work the two of fighters of tanks, self-propelled gun and a light tank. The remaining technique was actually neopravitelným scrap. The unit fought in the factory area and in the morning of day 9.may tried to in Zichova to prevent the massacre of the civilian population. Here and this unit has ended his short, but brave battle path.

In the course of the fighting leads to losses. One tank destroyer is destroyed armored fist, the other fighter was destroyed 8. may and self-propelled gun was destroyed in the area of defence of the Troja bridge. A light tank was blown apart in the space of Zlíchova the German "tiger".

We don't know who decided on the establishment of honorary and memorial badges, but at the end of the year 1945 was the company of the brethren Jägrů in Jablonec made badge that we imagine.

Description of the badge:
A massive oval badge in the center of which is a typical silhouette of fighters of tanks with a battalion of the CZECHOSLOVAK republic. In the upper part, the metal ribbon is the inscription:

"1. CZECHOSLOVAK REVOLUTIONARY TANK UNIT"

At the bottom of the badge is a plastic lime-branch which is the year of 1939-45.

Reverse:
The back side is smooth, embossed. There is a vertical pin for fastening to clothing. We find here the manufacturer's logo and in the small ring is for each badge, the serial and registration number.


Note:
I spoke with the father of my friend. The old man was a brave warrior of the barricades and he told me about this:
"Those tanks should be of great importance, not while dozbrojeny, not ammunition, but just zarachocení of the strip it gave us immense hope"

I personally believe that here, in one sentence, expressed the importance of the tank units in the battle for our capital city..
