This old metal plate depicts a French & a Belgian soldier standing atop the Nazi "dragon" they have slayed (with a little help from their Friends). The dragon is sporting an SS helmet and a nazi armband. It says "Mei (May) 1945".

Very interesting item. The soldier with his back to us is a Dutch one, he wears an orange brassard. He might be Dutch Underground. The other soldier is either English or Canadian.
Maybe remembering the (second) Liberation of the Arnhem area?

One thing we can all agree on is the identity of that dead Dragon they are standing on.
