The Free Czechoslovakian Army's 1st Armored Brigade did not deploy to Normandy until several weeks after the Allied landing, but the four Free Czechoslovakian squadrons that flew with the Royal Air Force all took part in D-Day. The colors flown at the National D-Day Memorial are those of the former Czechoslovakia as well as the present Czech Republic. Their display also acknowledges, implicitly and respectfully, the participation of the Czechoslovakians who came from what is now Slovakia in the Allied effort on D-Day.
