Bryan Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) I got this nice little documented and researched group few weeks ago. It's from an office guy. Unfortunately the unumbered medals were not part of the group. Which should be Caucasus, Warsaw, Victory over Germany and 30 years of the Soviet army medals. However, these were included. - Medal for Combat Service #1552563 NOV 1944 - Medal for Combat Service #1118229 SEP 1944 - Red Star #1595132 July 1945 - Red Star #2881318 June 1949 - Order of the Red Banner #395569 APR 1954 The group came with 38 pages of research! I'll spare some scans. The Red banner was awarded for long service, so I guess no need to include the scan. The guy was a Finance officer in several Engineer units. He served in the army from 1933 to 1956.Too bad he didn't killed 100 of facists, but it seems they needed those kind of guys in the planned economy. For the Russian speakers, here you can download it in pdf file without breaking your eyes!http://rapidshare.com/files/247067762/research.pdf.html Edited June 21, 2009 by Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 We've seen a number of intendance groups, but this is the first actual paymaster. Was this a group that came researched, or did you decide to do it blind from the completeness of the serial numbered awards? Could you show us the page from his service record showing his assignments from after the war until he was dumped out of the service in 1956 at age 45? I'm curious, because he was already at Brigade level during the war... so what were his jobs for the next 11 years while he remained at the "glass ceiling" rank of Lieutenant Colonel?

Bryan Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Hi Rick, thanks for your input. Is the document you are looking for in the .pdf document I have uploaded?The group was already researched when I bought it, so no real surprise until I try to translate few things by myself. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I can't download things like that.The page would be a long one, probably where his stamp sized blotchy photo (above) is at top left. Am just curious what sort of jobs he had for the next 11 years. We've had Soviet supply/quartermaster and pure paper-shuffling intendantur officers, but this is the first paymaster/finance and am curious about what level unit had such a Podpolkovnik in charge. He'd have been at Corps level in the Wehrmacht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
