    1. Here is an award card and citation for this Red Banner. 

      Name: Ivan Matveevich Dagilis

      Rank: Batallion Comissar (political officer rank equal to Captain)

      Position: Political assistant officer of the 1st Battalion commander, 20th Tank Regiment, 10th Tank Division, South-Eastern Front.

      Comrade Dagilis was a tank commander during the enemy lines attack on June 23, 1941 near the town of Radzehuv. Leading the attack forces with his tank he penetrated inside enemy tanks formation and managed to set on fire 2 enemy tanks. German troops concentrated intense artillery fire on his tank, so his tank got around 40 direct hits of armor piercing shells. His main gun, machine gun and tracks were damaged, both periscopes were destroyed and tank was set on fire. Only after that comrade Dagilis retreated and saved his crew.

      For this action commander of 10th Tank Division General Ogurtsov recommended Dagilis for Red Banner award

      Commander of South-Eastern Front awarded Dagilis with Red Banner on November 5, 1941. As you can see from his award card, Dagilis survived the war and finished it with the rank of Guards Colonel and in position of the Commander of 360th Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment. He was awarded with 3 Red Banners and OGPW 1st class.

      Hello Andrew,
      I have the following numbers, all of which are documented either with a register card or a handout protocol (mostly with protocols). I am sure you have already many of these, but here it goes. Maybe we could exchange some info. :)

      Hello Egorka,

      If you are still interested in trading award cards for Polkovodets awards we can do that.

      Lets start with Hmelnitsky 2nd class

      Here is a list of the numbers I am interested in 508 ; 589 ; 590 ; 593 ; 957 ; 958 ; 966 ; 971 ; 978 ; 985.

      I can offer you those numbers to trade, let me know which ones you need - 387, 388, 399, 400, 415, 418, 420, 421, 429, 443, 451.

      You can email me to kuznetsov@optonline.net

      Best regards,

      Andrew Kuznetsov.

      Andrew,

      I believe this is what your looking for?

      Order of Kutuzov 2nd class awarded to Travin Nikolai Vasilyevich (1898-1964), Major-General of Artillery. ТРАВИН Николай Васильевич

      Thank you very much. This is what I am looking for. Unfortunately order number is not indicated in this card. This is an early type of award card. Some of them don't have award's number (like yours), but some do have it written on the second page like this...KabachenkoSP1.thumb.jpg.96edeba42d405bda50faa4a7dd8bc25a.jpg

      And by the way, General Travin did have another award card with all his awards listed except for this Kutuzov.TravinNV1.thumb.jpg.2345637a695a1b57c8f573a4c835b589.jpgTravinNV2.thumb.jpg.1992c14e70f95b9a3622b14672dd2404.jpg

    4. Rather sad to think this 33 year old (in 1941) Junior Lieutenant female doctor went on to caring (that might need quotation marks) for war and purge orphans for long years after the war.

      Excellent story, thanks. It's a very lucky event to find an early Red Star to a woman. However, she was in a rank of Major, not Jr. Lieutenant. For Jr. Lieutenant it would be "voyenfeldsher 3rd class" (военфельдшер 3-го ранга).

    5. During Chernobyl's disaster I lived in Kiev which is only 100 miles away from the nuclear power plant. I remember lots of interesting things happened that spring. For example all buses disappeared from Kiev for three days. As I found out later, they were used to evacuate the entire population of Chernobyl, Pripyat and other smaller towns around the power station. Later those buses returned to regular city lines after short deactivation procedures (just washed them with water).

    6. Pianists, actors, painters, scientists usually did not receive labour-medals, but started with the BoH or RBL - my humble theory :unsure: .

      Christian

      Same holds true for workers and collective farmers. I've seen many complete groups for those people, where the first award was Lenin, RBL or BH order. Lots of them received HSL title without previously being awarded with any other order or medal. Most often that had happened in the first half of 1950th.

    7. Unfortunately for the Order of Lenin chances are not that good as for the other awards. I've seen many groups where the only missing thing was Lenin. In 80th and early 90th Red Stars, GPWs and Red Banners were pretty cheap. Their price was around 10 - 25 USD and one would not have much profit by selling them. At the same time Lenin was 300 USD because it was made of 0.900 gold. When I just started my career as a dentist in one of Kiev's city clinics in 1998 I met an old dental technician. He told me a horrible story that 15 - 20 years ago every week they destroyed 2 to 3 Lenins to make golden crowns or bridges (they were popular). Regular gold jewelery was made of 0.583 or 0.585 gold and it was not enough for golden crowns. But Lenin with 0.900 gold (as well as Russian Empire 5 and 10 Rouble coins) perfectly matched the standarts of dental appliances. So many Lenins all over USSR were lost forever. You can see their traces observing "golden smiles" of some old Russian folks :speechless:
