Guest Rick Research Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Ah, that's a and you've gotten a much better scan of the real colors than I've been able to ever get with mine. Research will be interesting-- I'd have expected the OPW1 earlier, in February 1945, so this must be one of those strange units with lower numbers handed out later. His Red Star falls into the range of numbers I've found so far. An "A" book so aalmost certainly an officer. No post war Orders, so not a career officer. His OPW1 should be quite interesting!!!

Guest Rick Research Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Did you get his Award Record Card? That would probably show Polish decorations if this unit was one of those in the supposedly "Polish" Communist forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
