I where a few times at the Museum hosed in the famous building (Berlin Karlshorst) where the treaty was signed. Here are some photos from 2010, my first visit.

I would like to know the name and criteria for this Taiwanese award.

Thanks, as you know there is a lot of work before the colourization. I did that photo just as an illustration.

Here's another Hungarian private made into colour.

Cheers!

Péter.

My favourite corner.... :cheers:

The back of the cross, 1942 - the year of the foundation of the order.

A new piece in the collection.

The Hungarian Order of The Holy Crown of Saint Stephen, Officers Cross.

The cross on top of the crown is sadly missing. Maybe someone tried to straighten it out and it broke off?

Peter, I think those are mortars on these pictures.

Hello Sasa!

Yes, of course it's mortars and nothing else!

I wasn't sure of the correct English word.

Here's a close-up of the photo!

Cheers!

The photographers comments:

"After the entire inspection, the Soviet visitors and colonel Grassy returned to the regiment for dinner at the officers mess hall."

The last photo of this series. :cheers:

The photographers comments to this photo is;

" The Soviet mayor accompanying the military attaché, was very interested in almost every detail of our equipment and wanted detailed informations.."

Inspection of the radio unit.

The officer to the left in this photo of colonel Frigyes Vasváry.

In a few weeks from this, he becomes the comader for the the 7th Infantry regiment and replacing colonel Jozsef Grassy.

The inspection of the soldiers morning gymnastic.

The Soviet military attaché in Hungary, Nikolai Lyahterov meets colonel Jozsef Grassy commander of the 7th Infantry regiment.

The photo series are most likely from January or February of 1941.

Hungary and the Soviet Union had still good relations.

The Soviet delegation arrives to the regiment.

A few month ago I bought these three Hungarian photo-albums from another militaria collector.

The albums contains more than 1400 original Hungarian WW2 military photos!!

The details and quality are just breathtaking and I just started to make scans of the photos.

I will share some of the highlights here later, but for now, I will start with a really interesting scene from a Soviet military attaché´s visit at the 7th Infantry regiment in the town of Kecskemét.
