Английская Википедия:Cross of the Warsaw Uprising
Шаблон:Polish Underground State sidebar The Cross of the Warsaw Uprising (Шаблон:Lang-pl) was an informal award used by soldiers of the Polish resistance during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944.[1] It consisted of a captured German Iron Cross, with a pre-war 1 złoty coin pinned to it in the centre over the swastika; the reverse side of the coin, showing the Polish eagle, was displayed, to which was added a kotwica and the inscription "1944".[2][3] It was awarded for killing an SS officer in combat and made during quieter periods in between the fighting.[1][2]
This cross should not be confused with the Warsaw Uprising Cross (Warszawski Krzyż Powstańczy) established in 1981.
