Bulgaria General Lieutenant Dobrin Dimitrov Dimitrov

[Stogieman]

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:
