- The War Victory Cross was automatically given to every soldier who served 4 years in the military of the Slovak Republic (1939–45). Even though that Nazi puppet state was small and only lasted 6 years, it was constantly at war so thousands of these awards were given out per the article. An automatic years of service award just doesn't seem defining.
