Wounderful badge Gor. So here are my two badges: The first one is a Pilot badge , graduate of the military aviation school of the RKKA

Wounderful example Gerd

And the Sandomir bridgehead operation. Both cities are little towns with a few thousand inhabitabts today.

Senior Sargent Zagorodsky could belong to the 1st Ukraine front under the comman of Konjev. The city of Sandomir (Sandomierz, Poland), and the city of Dembitsa (Dembica, Poland) are lying in the south of Poland 100 km east from Krakau near the river Visla (german Weichsel) -blue arrows-. The Sandomir bridgehead operation seems to be a larger operation from 28. July to 29. August to crosas the river Visla. To my serial number data base, his Valour medal in the serial number range 1.7xx.xxx could be awarded at that time. His order of Glory is from April 1945, when Konjev starts his Berlin operation. My next project: Research the group

Thanks Chris, very nice badges. regards Andreas

The stamp of the document is very weak. I can?t see anything.

Yes seems to be. But there is another one, nearly the same style. So I don?t know exactly. Is this an original? Do you have a picture of the reverse.

A not often encountered badge, even as an image! Thanks, I would love to see such a badge or better to own one. regards Andreas

I have heared that one pilot school was located at Stalingrad. Here is a soviet airforce soldier wearing a Aviatian Technican badge on his right breast and another badge.

Yes, that one was the second from Alexei.

Hello, I also saw this uniform on US ebay. But I saw the same uniform a few weeks ago on german ebay. I don?t know hat to think. regards Andreas

Rick, do you know in which cities these pilot schools where located? I heared that there were six schools. regards Andreas

Here is a map of the Ukraine and the Poltava region.

many thanks Rick, the research of the group will be my next project.

tell me more .... This would be my next research project. Maybe he got a partisan medal who knows...... What about the 30 and 40 years aniversary medal of the armed forces ? He got the 50, 60 and 70 years medals.

No, it?s just the disturbed line of the medallion which is defect. Maybe the die was used to long. Serial number and mint mark are as on other red stars.

Here is an example for an Red Star with producing errors. The line of the medaillon is disturbed.

and the document for the order of glory 3rd class; granted in april 1945. Should be interesting to reserarch.

and the second part

and another document, could somebody so friendly to give a short summary of the content?

and the second part.

Any conclusions about the content of the sprabka?

Due to the serial number of the medal for bravery s/n: 1.737.508 I thought the medal should be granted around 1944/45. But not in 1949. Any presumptions?
