15th Anniversary of the Liberation of Warsaw

Poland · 1960 · 60 gr

This stamp commemorates the 15th anniversary of the liberation of Warsaw from Nazi occupation. The design features the newly unveiled Monument to the Heroes of Warsaw, a powerful symbol of the city's resilience and sacrifice during World War II. The monument, often called the 'Warsaw Nike,' depicts a sword-wielding goddess rising from the ruins.

Issued in 1960, this stamp reflects Poland's post-war reconstruction and the communist government's emphasis on commemorating the victory over fascism and the role of the Soviet-backed Polish People's Army.
