Ed_Haynes Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 Once again, public thanks to all who helped out here.As always, any comments are welcomed.
Guest Rick Research Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Again a PERFECT example of award degradation during the war--this was easily a 1944 OPW 2nd or a 1945 OPW 1st level citation. Inescapably, RANK enters into RECOGNITION-- he was SCREWED. :cheers:
Ed_Haynes Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) Again a PERFECT example of award degradation during the war--this was easily a 1944 OPW 2nd or a 1945 OPW 1st level citation. Inescapably, RANK enters into RECOGNITION-- he was SCREWED. My thought exactly. And he was an essentially rankless commisar when he got the award. But maybe the bravery medal just meant more then and got demoted as new things were invented? Edited February 9, 2009 by Ed_Haynes
