:Cat-Scratch: I have NEVER seen a posthumous bestowal of a Soviet medal to a Soviet before. Really weird that they would do so for a Bulgarian!

There is no date on that one, and the completely stamped authorization from Marshal Tolbukhin as Commander, Southern Group of Forces indicates, seems to me, there must have been a mass bestowal of the Soviet Victories on DEAD Bulgarians.

Very useful to have name, rank, unit, and place of death on the Bulgarian one. :beer:
