    Hero of the Soviet Union


    Recommended Posts

    A great and large group photograph with soldiers and officers from the Red Army. In the 3rd row we have in the center a Hero of the Soviet Union ((not identified yet). Reverse is blank.

    Great photo! Too bad there's no writing in the back.

    I wonder what happened with this guy's medal.

    The probably lost the medal during the battle. It took some time to get a duplicate from the DOD.

    Im glad he continued to wear the ribbon to show that he received it.

    I got several photographs in which service members wear ribbons/medals like that. I need to find one photograph from my collection, in which a sapper is wearing his 3/4 destroyed Order of the Red Star.

    Yes, I noticed the Officer on the very right of the bottom raw is wearing 4th Class 2nd Grade of the Bulgarian Order for Bravery,

    I wonder whether this photo is some kind of reunion , because all officers have very close ranks

    Apart from couple of Majors no highest ranks I can see
