Guest Rick Research Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 He didn't even TRY to iron away the marks of the place where he had RAMMED it through before!!! That is what I have never understood about the horribly DESTRUCTIVE nature of the Soviet screwbacks. Didn't ANYBODY have any concern about the permanent damage it causes to clothing? That great big hole and squashed down imprint of whre he USED to wear his award sure looks ... wonderful... on full formal parade dress, huh? Senior Lieutenant P. S. Brazhko, below, is missing a Red Star--same tightened so hard and so long it has left a Dinosaur Footprint in his tunic but wearing his ribboned medals:Did he "carelessly" lose it-- and so was not allowed a duplicate replacement? Or was the enamel broken and so ugly he didn't want to wear it, unrepaired? Or....was he wearing another officer's jacket while his was getting washed?

Guest Rick Research Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Now as far as LOOKING "demoted"-- just like the French ceremony of breaking the officer's saber, ripping off his shoulder boards, and tearing off his tunic buttons-- here is Lieutenant General (commissar) P. A. Usov wearing a M1954 generals' service dresss tunic with...no awards whatsoever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
