Ferdinand Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 That's number three! So far only two officers were known to have received six Red Stars: Lt. Col. Vasily Vasilyevich Salantyev and Col. Pyotr Petrovich Panchenko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Yep. According to this source http://ww2awards.info/sssr/orden_krasnoy_zvezdi.html Lt. Col. Vasily Vasilyevich Silantyev [Силантьев]. Two of his six were longevity awards By the way, do we have their photos?

Paul R Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Those are beyond amazing. I am sure that the first one got a little frustrated that he could not break the ORS ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck In Oregon Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 VERY nice post and follow-ups and very interesting. I think the most any Georgian was awarded was four, all were combat (a pilot), and I own that group, ex-Tbilisi Museum of the Revolution. I think I posted it here, sometime in the distant past. According to the ex-director of the museum, he was supposed to get an HSU but Stalin notoriously hated Georgians and denied it, so they gave him a fourth Red Star. Just a story and I can't support it, but I tend to believe it. But SIX? Wow. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some really amazing and rare things you've got from this museum Chuck!http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/4608-quadruple-red-star-group-georgian-pilot/?hl=%2Bpilot+%2Bred+%2Bstar ... Stalin notoriously hated Georgians ... Quite lively imagination this ex-director had Cheers, Nick Edited August 3, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
