Death to Fascism! Liberty to the People! (Yugoslav People 1941-1944 Led by Tito, Fighting Vanguard of Democratic Europe)
A photograph of Josip Broz Tito in profile sits inside black and red arrows, under the legend 'Yugoslav people 1941-1944 led by Tito' and 'Fighting vanguard of democratic Europe'. The tell for glittering generalities is the virtue phrasing ('democratic Europe', 'liberty to the people') attached to a named leader without a stated metric; the issuer is a South Slavic American committee.
