    Yugoslavia WW2 Awards : recipient identification from numbers ?


    Recommended Posts

    Is it possible to identify recipients of WW2 Yugoslavian awards from the numbers on them.

    I have previously been advised on another forum that this is not possible but am inquiring here now  in case anyone here knows different or records have since become available ?

    Unfortunately, it's not possible. The Chancellery of Orders in Belgrade exists but it's closed to public and we all hope it opens one day and that the research by number becomes available. Even if it was possible, I doubt we would get anything more than a name though.

    Thank you for advising Intermediate 

    I bought a lot of different Yugo.WW2 Medals on a UK auction and it has occured to me that they could have been to one person but there is apparently no way of checking this

    Awards in the lot purchased were as follows:

    Order Partisan Star USSR Manufacture # 7183

    Spomenika 1941: Ist type (USSR made ) (Unnumbered ) and 2nd type # 16357

    Order of Bravery 1st type # 5651 & 2nd type # 11359

    Medal for Bravery : 1st type ( USSR ) and 2nd type

    Medal for Military Virtue ( 1951- ) 

    Medal for Merit to the People ( 1945 - )

    I should have mentioned that the OPS was third class 

    I also have ( from separate acquisitions ) the second and third classes of this order  ( USSR made ) to Russians with documents

    Both OPS are numbered in a range between 2300 and 2400 and both documents are dated 5 May 1945.

    One is to a Guards Corporal and the other to a Junior Lieutenant 

    My interest in Yugo.WW2 is part of an interest in the awards of all Allied countries and Resistance for WW2

    I was very pleased to obtain the two Spomenika 1941 awards

    I also have two Slovenian Partisan awards ( 1983 Medals for the 6th and 7th Partisan Brigades ; both numbered )
