Paul R Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Thanks for posting this set Dan! Does anyone know the highest number of bravery medals received by a single person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hi Paul, Don't know for sure... hoping one of the other members does and will kick in. Only thing I can find so far is in the green bible on page 145 end of paragraph one in the second column on the right of the page... "Two individuals were awarded the Bravery Medal six times."

Ferdinand Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yes, that was the max. The Mondvor site has a picture of a mortarman that received five Bravery Medals: - http://mondvor.narod.ru/MOtvaga.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
