    1. Maybe not Gerd. The first one was scanned so you can better see the color of the enamel, but the 2 others are photographed, which hide a lot of details! That is my opinion.
    2. Would it be possible to perform kind of a price list about Albanian medal? I see some orders on the market (eBay), but I have no clue if something is a deal or if it is out of price!
    3. Awards from Marshall Rybalko. Look at the enamel from his XX years of the Red Army.
    4. Some pictures from the Soviet Armed Forces Museum in Moscow Lots of Lenin!
    5. Chinese medal? I'm sorry I have lost the pictures of the rest of the foreign awards.
    6. And now for jimzammit the medal group from the HSU, General-Colonel I.I. Liudnikov.
    7. Bob, I stayed 4 days in Volgograd and I had plenty of time to see a lot of things walking around the city. I guess 3 days would have been enough. I bought a map at the train station when I arrived and every little Memorial was written on the card, as well as the museum. Beside Mamayev Kurgan, the Stalingrad Panorama Museum, there is other small museums to see, like one for the Civil War (Volgograd State Memorial Museum) in front of the train station and a small museum at the last HQ from Paulus were he was captured at the TSUM (Centralny Univermag) on the Allee of the Heroes in front of the Eternal flame. I didn't find a lot of information on Internet before to go there. I got my hotel on Internet and I didn't take any guide out there. You can ask for a guide at the reception of your hotel, they will help you. If you have more time, you can make an excursion to Rossoshka. It is a German WWII cemetery. I haven?t been there, but a friend of mine said it was newly restored with German funds. It is like new I heard. Beside that, it is maybe more difficult, but you can make a day trip to Gumrak and Potomnik airfield. I was supposed to go, but I didn?t have time because I met one of my friends living in Volgograd. So that is about what you can expect to see out there. The city is easy to travel around with Marshroutka. It just cost 7-10 rubbles from the hotel to go to Mamayev Kurgan or to the museums. I didn?t take any taxi. I have also read M. Beevor book and I had little tourist information before to get there. I got all the information I needed once I was there. Wenn du Fragen hast kann ich dir gerne helfen.
