Great pics! I've got to say this though... in that last... the officer in the background... those new peaked caps look awful!

The top is way too big!

Fascinating picture!

And I agree with Dan about those late-Soviet, early-neo-Rusian "Viagra Hats". The bigger the hat, the smaller the ____?

But don't let them distract you from the Central Attraction, Comrade German (and what an unfortunate name)!

If you think about it, had he earned the Type 1 For Valor after 1943, it probably would have been another Glory, making him a Cavalier...he's one of those guys that didn't get awards at the right time and came close....but not close enough....to becoming a full Cavalier.
