Stogieman Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 General Dimitrov was the number two guy of Civil Defense in Bulgaria under Communist Rule. On the occassion of his 60th Birthday he was awarded a Dimitrov order. I don't have much of his group, but I am sure it's out there somewhere. please contact me if you have pieces from this man. While the only time I have seen a group of documents of this nature, i'm sure others were probably given out. Without further ado..... An interesting group of congratulatory documents to this famous general. First group is a leatherette folder bearing congratulations from the Commander of Civil Defense: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
