Soviet The humble beginnings of my Soviet collection

[Hauptmann]

I used to have one of those posters as well... My ex tossed it during one of our moves. It is nice to know that Igor still carries them.

Hi Paul,

Do you happen to have a link to them? Might be better than getting them reprinted depending on the price.

Thanks!

I think that Igor will have them...

One question that I've been meaning to ask for a long time...Why are 1985 OPWs unresearchable?

Doc

[Paul R]

That is a good question. I THINK I know that one, yet I will wait for a more experienced member to respond. I think that ALL serving WW2 participants were issued either one of the other.

Kevin,

I love those posters! How difficult are they to find?

Paul

Paul - I have no idea how hard they are to find now. I had a Soviet/East German collector friend who was a WO in the 7th Intel Co who sent them to me in the late 80s. I have many more, including english translation of the medals poster. But they are burried deep in the garage and so not immediately available. Kevin

Another Soviet Orders and Medals book I stumbled across tonight - Dated 1983, has color plates of medals in the back -
