"After the liberation of Rimavská Sobota on December 21, 1944 by the Soviet army, the local non-native committee took over the administration of the city from mid-January 1945. National committees were established on the territory of Slovakia during the Second World War based on the decree of the President of the Republic no. 18/1944 of December 4, 1944. National committees have replaced the existing municipal administrations in post-WWII Czechoslovakia. The District Office of the Local National Committees in Rimavská Sobota (in Hungarian Rimaszombat) was responsible for the agenda of the city of Rimavská Sobota and the localities of Tomašovce, Jesenské and Bátka between the December 1944 and 1950.
