Wild Card Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Gentlemen, I was once told by a very reliable authority that in the Soviet Union, firemen came under the authority of the NKGB. I have seen pictures of firemen’s badges with NKGB, MVD and MOOP marks on the lower banner. Do any of you have any information on this? Does this mean that the firefighters themselves were members of these organizations, or just came under their authority? Did this apply to all, or just selected firemen? Any information on this subject will be appreciated. Thank you in advance, Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
