Christian Zulus Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Dear Paddy,my first 3 ranks - just my feeling:1) Glory 2cl (+ his Glory 3cl and the other awards)2) Red Banner (has a rather low s/n.!)3) NevskyI assume, that your Glory 2cl and the early Red Banner had been confered for quite heroic deeds in the line of fire .Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Paddy,I hope, that my feelings will result in great citations .A RB in the 90 xxx range garants two things:- it's an authentic GPW-award- it's NOT a long service awardIf you look at the statutes and regulations in the Red PMD-bible of these 3 orders, which you are going to get researched, then you will see, that the receipients have to have fullfilled in each case great deeds .Glory 2cl: Either an NCO, or (rarer case) a private. Or - extremly rare - a junior-officer of the airforce (fighter or ground-attack).RB: I guess, a lower ranking officer, or (rarer case) a NCO.Nevsky: Has to be a CO of an unit. Usually a platoon leader, but can go up (rarer cases) to regimental or even divisional level.My rank-guessings for the time, they got their orders confered:- Glory 2cl: Sergeant- RB: Captain- Nevsky: LieutenantMany thanks for researching these interesting items and for showing the citations to us .Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 If I were you I would request research now. It won't take long to do so, but it will take many months before you get results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Things are running really, REALLY slow just now. I have been told that by June the backlog should be cleared, so you may wish to postpone until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
