Gents,
The G.O. in post #62 above is aviation Maj Gen I. D. Antoshkin. He was killed in a UT-2 plane crash in May 1944. Earned his HSU during the 1940 Soviet-Finnish war.

Wrong side of the uniform, or was the negative developed backwards?
Darrell,
Wrong side of the uniform. In your reversal of the negative, the words "For Valor" are now reversed.

Gents,
This is one impressive Soviet naval officer. Captain First Rank A. F. Arzhavkin wears the Orders of Nakhimov First and Second Class, the Order of Ushakov Second Class, the Order of Alexander Nevskiy, the Order of the Patriotic War and two Orders of the Red Star - and those are just his screwbacks.

I have copies of General Orders giving the citations for 46 Distinguished Flying Crosses and eight Air Medals that were awarded to Soviet officers in 1944 and 1945. I do not know if that is the total number or just a part of those awarded.

A great photo of a yet-to-be identified HSU Major General who was one of 53 Red Army personnel to be awarded the U.S. Army Distinguished Service Cross (second only to the Medal of Honor for combat valor) during World War II. Note how he's remounted it using the original DSC award ribbon.

Gents,
A stunning image of an unidentified Guards Starshina 2nd Class HSU of the Baltic Fleet taken in October 1944. Note, in particular, the ribbon around his cover which reads - "Torpedo Cutters..."
