Christian Zulus Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Dear Rick,General Puzik had been a rather important rocket-general around 1960 in the CCCP.He uses a highly interesting device - a second sheet of cloth - for wearing his screwbacks. So he avoides the holes in his uniform - clever guy .Comrade Puzik received nice awards during the GPW .Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Zulus Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Look very young!Dear "Usairforce",this type of face looks always incredible young & boyish .Look at the photograph of Maj.-Gen. Skuba I posted: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11895&hl=skuba .There are some famous Soviet Generals, who look like Komsomol-Secretaries .Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyFCO Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 He uses a highly interesting device - a second sheet of cloth - for wearing his screwbacks. So he avoides the holes in his uniform - clever guy .He used so much cloth though for around his awards where I personally think it looks silly! He'd have been better off with simply making the holes for his awards (in my opinion).His awards look like someone jacked him up though... His two RBs are out of order, and more interestingly, given that his second row is out of order, he swapped his Victory over Germany with his Warsaw medal! Oy!Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oy!DaveDear Dave,maybe he had only ONE jacket - who knows - and his mother told him, not to make holes It seems, that our young rocket-general hadn't been an expert in Soviet phaleristics .Best regards ChristianBTW: There is a new group in the GMIC-communist-section .

JimZ Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 What isn't strange? the OGPW/NEVKSY/SUVOROV sequence - we've seen that bungled up before!!the ORB 2/ORB 1 sequence - now that is a new one to me on photo!the Warsaw ribbon with the Victory over Germany medal and ..... needless to say the Victory over Germany ribbon with the Warsaw medal - Guess its confusing when you are mounting them on a 5 piece kolodka .... Funnily enough if I came across the medals without having seen the photo, the warsaw and germany medals would make me smell a rat.... that was not there!So if as a little exercise I'd have to sit wit Tovarish General Puzik over some warm chai, I may be tempted to humbly point out the following:Right breast:Suvorov / Nevsky/ OGPW/ Red StarsLeft breast:ORB1 / ORB2 / MM / MM (in order of award)/ Defence of the Caucauses /Defence of Soviet Polar region/ Victory over Germany /Capture of berlin/ Liberation of warsawAs for that unsightful patch on the right breast ........... please drop it!!!Of course, it is most probable that if I walked out of our afternoon tea session I may be sent straight to Siberia to freshen my thoughts!!Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteti Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 There's Some Things Very Strange About Comrade General Puzik!PUZIK! I think his name tells everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Yup, don't know whether the "towel" under those stars or the mixed-and-matched medals are weirder annnnnnd,even if this was an OLD photo turned in for the file (16 Republics button clear next to the medal bars)...where is at least his 1948 Jubilee Medal, if not also the 1958? He CAN'T have been discharged in 1947 but then decked himself out in the M1954 dress uniform and STILL got his medals WRONG. Oh. I was forgetting.He DID get them wrong. It never ceases to amze me what a messy, non-regulation clutter of awards in wear seems more the norm than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimZ Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I guess Generals and high ranking officers can be forgiven certain oversights! If there was ever a time for a Russian Medal watchdog ... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Zulus Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 PUZIK! I think his name tells everything! Dear Mattei,Puzik is his real name - and has a special meaning in German language .Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Zulus Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Gentlemen,does comrade Puzik show us a Suvorv 3cl ?A Suvorov 3cl would suit to Puzik's age and his Nevsky.Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
