Product Information
Specification
Belgium: WW2 Commemorative Medal of the 
Armed Partisans of the Independence Front 
(Patriotic Militia) Resistance Group, 1941 - 
1961.
The medal was issued to the surviving 
veterans of the Group, in 1961 to commemo-
rate the 20th Anniversary of its foundation, 
in 1941.
On the reverse the initials: F.I. - O.F. and P.A. 
- M.P. (for Independence Front and Armed 
Partisans in French and Flemish respectively)
The Group was founded in 1941 and engaged 
in Resistance acts against the Germans in the 
occupied Belgium. In 1944 it was renamed 
to "Patriotic Militia". 
A very rare WW2 resistance medal.
More than 70.000 Belgians participated in the 
various groups of Resistance during the 
German Occupation. Aside from sabotage of 
military infrastructure in the country and assas-
sinations of collaborators, these groups also 
published large numbers of underground 
newspapers, gathered intelligence and 
maintained various escape networks that 
helped Allied airmen escape from German
occupied Europe.
