You are absolutely right, OoV. Its also the Spassky-tower on the Defense of Moscow Medal. My fault, sorry.

[Bryan]

Sorry to contradict you Gerd, but the tower in the middle of the Medal for the 800th Birthday of Moscow is not the Spasskaya tower, but the Blagoveshchenskaya tower. See below :

Your thread as been completly high-jacked!

Beautiful citation, no question about that!

Slightly off topic, the Vienna and Budapest liberation medals were awarded under the Ukaz of 9/6/1945. I forgot (or perhaps never new it), was that a mass award Ukaz?

Thank you, Sergei. Beside the fact, that he was obviously a brave man, its interesting, that he was in an Assault Engineering Sapper Battalion. Its the first time i heard about such unit.

I don?t know the answer to your question, but i would like to know as well, so if anyone can clarify this, i would appreciate it very much.

Thanks again

Yes, the capture/liberation awards were awarded under mass ukaz dated 9 June 1945. That's not when everyone physically received them, of course, but that's when they were authorized, thus the preprinted Ukaz date in the document for each.

Hope that helps!
