Correct Answer

Explanation

The Order of Liberation is a French Order which was awarded to heroes of the Liberation of France during World War II. It is a very high honour, second only after the Legion d'Honneur (Legion of Honour). Very few people, military units and communes were ever awarded it; and only for their deeds during World War II. A different order, the Medaille de la Resistance ("Resistance Medal") was created and awarded for lesser but still distinguished deeds by members of the Resistance.
