| Additional information |
Belarus lost roughly a third of its entire population during World War II — proportionally among the highest death tolls of any nation involved in the conflict. The Byelorussian SSR was occupied by German forces from 1941 until 1944, and the partisan resistance operating from its forests was extensive enough that German reprisals destroyed over 600 villages, Khatyn being the most documented. The 65th anniversary commemorative series from the National Bank appeared alongside similar issues from Russia and Ukraine, all three former Soviet republics marking the occasion through their own mint programs.
