shim Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Hello, I know the photo I've attached is really unclear but it's all I have. My Grandfather was a Czechoslovakian Jew that escaped a Nazi death camp and was captured by the Soviets. He became a Russian paratrooper and after a successful mission that involved the capture of a Nazi general he (reportedly) received this medal from Stalin. Anyway, I'd would immensely appreciate it if someone here could identify this medal for me. Thanks so much, S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slava1stclass Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 shim, The suspension medal he is wearing is not Soviet - it is the Czech Bravery Medal. Regards, slava1stclass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shim Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 Hi slava1stclass, Thank you so much! That is exactly the medal. I have confirmed this with my Aunt, who said that my grandmother had told her that he had received the Za Chrabrost medal. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Awesome! Was the story passed down by your Grandmother? What did he do to be awarded this honor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
