"ROLF HOFFMANN" is what I read.

But then again, my Mongolian might be a little rusty =o(

I definitely don't speak Mongolian or Russian, but going fonetically () that looks right! Interesting story there?

I have one with a gold cog wheel in my collection (see: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=19933). I'd be interested to see pictures as well!

Further research for this group has come up empty, unfortunately.

Tsend, a belated thank you for the translation! Indeed, the stolen medal is sad news.

Again, any help translating would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

The citation. I translated this with google translator, but the result is poor. The general idea is that he received a shrapnel wound to the right side, left on sick leave, returned to battle, and was again wounded by shrapnel in the left leg. He was originally recommended for an Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class.

Research just arrived. Unfortunately, I haven't had it properly translated yet, so this is just what I am managing from my limited knowledge of Russian. Any help filling in the gaps would be greatly appreciated!

This translation is really sloppy, but it gets the essence. Any help with the question marks would be appreciated!
