The main goal of this study is to present the military English Battledress Blouse (Pattern 1940) of the paratrooper of 1. Czechoslovak Army Corps in the USSR from the collection of the Institute of Military History Bratislava - Museum Department Svidník of the Military History Museum Piešťany, as well as to introduce its wearer Jan Kopčák, who underwent special training to perform combat tasks in the rear of the enemy, which culminated in his participation in the Parachute Group called Jan Kozina, which was dropped under adverse circumstances on the night of 16. 10. 1944 on the territory of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. For participating in this combat action, the paratrooper in question could wear the so-called British Parachutist Wings on his blouse.
