    Next group of Soviet documents

    Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

    Do you perhaps have his Yugoslav Order of the Partisan Star 3rd class? I see on the wikipedia page that he was awarded with it.

    "1948 – juhosl. Rad partizánskej hviezdy III. stupňa"

    Hello,

     

    I would like to participate to this interesting thread, posting some pictures of Soviet awards to foreigners.

     

    First, the Order "Friendship of Peoples", awarded to Valery Fischmann, DDR, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Society of German-Soviet Friendship. The piece is in its original case, with ribbon bar and a length of spare ribbon; then, a full-view of his group of awards (I fear that some further pieces and papers are now lost).

     

    I find rather curious the velvet presentation table, with badges of the German-Soviet society, along with the KGB and MfS badges; something that could allow us to suspect that Fischmann could have also been involved with Comrade Erich Mielke's Ministry...

    Now, after the DDR group, the KGB 60th anniversary medal, awarded to the Bulgarian General Georgi Minev:

    Thank you, I am glad if I could have been of any help.

     

    Some years ago, I've acquired a large group of orders, decorations and medals, belonged to an MfS Oberst: there are also Soviet awards and badges, most of them, with their corresponding papers.

     

    I will take pictures of the relevant pieces and post them here too.

    Dear Nick, dear all,

     

    I apologize for replying this late.

     

    Re. the KGB badge, it is made of some light metal like aluminium alloy, same as the MFS coat-of-arms and the badge of the German-Soviet Friendship Society, all mounted on a cloth-covered board, the whole in a rather simple, cardboard presentation case.

    Hello,

     

    recently, I've purchased the group of orders and decorations belonged to Hermann Lewerenz, a Luftwaffe officer captured in the last days of the Stalingrad battle, shortly before the surrender of v. Paulus's 6th Army.

     

    Lewerenz was amongst the first members of the Bund Deutsche Offiziere and the Komitee Freies Deutschland; after the war, he entered in the KVP, then the NVA, reaching the rank of Oberst.

     

    He was a consultatnt in the movie industry, and I've read that he was an actor too. I hope I will know or find more about his life and career.

     

    Besides his full set of the Vaterländisches Verdienstorden, he received some soviet awards; one of them, the Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class; also this, cased and with its Ordenskaya Knizhka...

     

    All the best,

     

    Enzo
