Hi Paul,

I am glad you like it

Yep it is and the order book is as well

[Alfred]

His rank is private, a translation of the word could be red soldier. In German the word is "Rotarmist"

He served in the 1.376 Rifle Regiment, 417 Rifle Divison.

OoV,

You won't find a service record for him because he is enlisted. Award Card and maybe a citation(s) will be all that you will find for Order of Glory recipients.

That's a nice one!!!

[Guest Rick Research]

You've got yourself a horribly wounded teenaged war invalid. Born in 1926, he only served in the Red Army from September 1943 to June 1944. The award authorization for his OG3 was 8 months after he left the army-- at 18--

and when the ARC was filled out on 25 October 1949 he was "not working."

He was living in the village of Rubanka, Nedrigailovskogo Raion, Sumskoi Oblast at that time.

I have a question, the signature near the stamp in the order book in the first post of this thread is the same as in my two order books for medal for bravery. Why it this so?

Hi Gerd,

The printed "signatures" in Orders Books are of the Secretary of the Presidium at the time. That was "A. Gorky." Before the war they were separately stamped, but from the war on, simply printed as part of the page.

I wish there was some way to find out what happened for the REST of an award recipient's life. Like this poor teenager-- did he die young, or live on for decades. Being disabled, what happened if his poor mother died before he did?...

the things we will never, never know.

[Ferdinand]

That's true, but sometimes www.pobediteli.ru can help us - it currently lists 1,054,938 Soviet GPW veterans still alive. Svinarenko isn't listed, but if he was, we at least knew he didn't die young.
