Gerd Becker Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Hello Gentlemen,i bought a few photos on a collectors meeting today and want to ask you for help with the handwritten notes on the reverse.First is a Stalingrad Veteran Major, who wears a Bravery Medal beside his ORB, Stalingrad Medal and VoG-Medal
Gerd Becker Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 Next is a Colonel of the Navy....
Guest Rick Research Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 1) Nice-- unusual combination of awards! Attested 2 December 1947 by a colonel commanding (stamp) Political Section of 8th Mechanized Army. Photo is of major Gersh M(father's name lost under stamp) Nagorsky.2) Naval Captain 1st Rank Fyedor Panteleevich Glutschenko, attested 14.7.55 by acting commander of Unit 69106 a captain 3rd Rank. The top just cropped off = Cadres Unit Political Administration Pacific Ocean Fleet (OK PU TOF). What is his medal after Defense of the Polar Region?
Gerd Becker Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 The third is what? I bought it because of the Chinese-Soviet Friendship Medal...
Gerd Becker Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 Next up is a Lieutenant Colonel of the Air Force with 3 Campaign Medals (4 with VoG)
Gerd Becker Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 And last but not least a Colonel with Red Banner, Badge of Honor ,Victory over Germany , Victory over Japan and 30 years Armed Forces.
Guest Rick Research Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 3) Air Force Engineering Major wearing outdated M1955-58 dress uniform, taken 26 April 1960--Fyedor Nikiforovich Shadrin of Unit 77904.4) Air Force Guards Lieutenant Colonel Aleksandr Mikhailovich Alekssev, certified 26.3.54 by acting CO of Staff for229th Independent Towing Aviation Squadron this must be a unit that "pulled" gliders or other airborne equipment. Nice unit!!!5)Colonel of some sort of administrative branch-- can you zoom in on the branch device above his rank stars?Georgy Vasilievich Pokroev attested (day too light to read) February 1951 by acting Cadres Co Major.The parts of the upside down stamp I can read are "Artillery "Order of the Patriotic War...." Technical Academy."
Gerd Becker Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 (edited) I fear, this is the best, i can do, Rick. Its blurry on the photo itself. To Nr. 2, the Medal after Defense of the Polar Region is Defense of Caucasus. Edited February 11, 2007 by Gerd Becker
Guest Rick Research Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Hmmmm... medical goblet and serpent?
Gerd Becker Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 Well, i don?t know... Here is a good picture from CollectRussia to compare. Its Navy, but though...Will see, if i can find anything, that comes close...However, need some sleep first.Rick, thanks a lot, my friend.
Ed_Haynes Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Nice pictures, Gerd. If you can't get the medals, you can have their images?
Guest Rick Research Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Ah! Gerd-- it is the winged steering wheel over tires of Motor Transport I think, looking at the uptright / but...what is THAT doing on narrow Administrative boards?
Gerd Becker Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 (edited) No, i think, they are different. I have to check in daylight tomorrow, my eyes are hurting from all the enamel, i saw today Thanks for the interest so far. Edited February 11, 2007 by Gerd Becker
Gerd Becker Posted February 12, 2007 Author Posted February 12, 2007 Ah! Gerd-- it is the winged steering wheel over tires of Motor Transport I think, looking at the uptright / but...what is THAT doing on narrow Administrative boards?Well, you must be right, Rick. It really doesn?t look like Motor Transport in my opinion, but its the only device, that comes close enough...
Gerd Becker Posted March 13, 2007 Author Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) Got a few more today...What would you say, how old would you guess this Lieutenant Colonel? Edited March 13, 2007 by Gerd Becker
Gerd Becker Posted March 13, 2007 Author Posted March 13, 2007 Got a few more today...What would you say, how old would you guess this Major?Noone bites? I would have guessed him at about 30-35 on this picture, but now look at this one of the same chap:
Ferdinand Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) Major? That's a Guards Lieutenant-Colonel (Pavel Aleksandrovich Lapin)... Edited March 13, 2007 by Ferdinand
Gerd Becker Posted March 13, 2007 Author Posted March 13, 2007 Major? That's a Guards Lieutenant-Colonel (Pavel Aleksandrovich Lapin)...Auke, thanks, you are right of course. I had this picture in mind, when i wrote that text above, sorry....Can anyone assist with the text on this one?
Ferdinand Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) I think his name is Yevgeny Ilyich Tyukhtin, signed by Guards Lieutenant-Colonel Lazarenko on April 10 1953... Nice pictures by the way, but no Red Banner on the last officer! Edited March 13, 2007 by Ferdinand
Guest Rick Research Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Tyukhtin was in the 66th Guards Tank Regiment.
Gerd Becker Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 Tyukhtin was in the 66th Guards Tank Regiment.Thanks, guys.
Ferdinand Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Chief of Staff of the regiment, if I'm not mistaking?
Guest Rick Research Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 No, that is who signed off certifying that the photo was him.
