Spasm Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Just bought a Defence of Stalingrad medal and certificate awarded to a tank regiment member as a backdrop to a painting I'll do sometime soon. However, I have no ideas as to translation. I've tried to use the cryillic alphabet aid on here but us oldies who have to use glasses to read the screen and then not to write things down gets the better of my patience. Rather than just give in, maybe a Gent can help me translate the top paragraph of this award list Many thanks in advance The awardee is number 31 on this page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spasm Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Nick - thanks very much for that. Any ideas about the top paragraph/heading? I'm assuming it states what the award is for and to what unit they were in. I'm sort of hoping I can then google about and find some more details about the dates and actions around Stalingrad Edited November 11, 2015 by Spasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
