Guest Darrell Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 It was about time I pulled everything out of their containers / cases etc. to take a group photo.I'm expecting a Defense of Sevastopol / Defense of Odessa and Liberation of Belgrade in the next couple of weeks to round it out a bit.Hope you enjoy.

Guest Darrell Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 (edited) Next we must get you addicted to awards paperwork... then research....I spend too much time looking at medals and such now ... wouldn't want to guess what I'd do if I had to research them all Edited September 28, 2005 by Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 (edited) Very nice collection Darrell. My favorite medal of them all is the Belgrade Medal(I actually have two. One of them is part of a documented grouping). I bet that you are excited about getting yours. A lot of the people who received this medal did not fare so well after the war. The way I understand it is that most of the awardees were partisans who Stalin sent to Siberia. Talk about a slap to the face by a "thankful" government.

Talk about a slap to the face by a "thankful" government.That goes for many ethnic minorities and even the Russian Prisoners of war that were liberated in Germany near the end of the war. That Stalin was one mean SOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
