Nederlands Verzetsherdenkingskruis c. 1945 - 1999

The "Nederlands Verzetsherdenkingskruis" (Dutch Resistance Commemoration Cross) is a medal awarded to those who fought in the Dutch Resistance during World War II. It was created in 1945, and consists of a silver cross with a crown and a sword over a flame, inscribed with "De Tyranny Verdryven" (To Drive out Tyranny) and "1940-1945". The ribbon is a combination of the colors of the Dutch flag with black stripes on each side to represent mourning. This particular medal is a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for freedom in the Netherlands during a turbulent period.
