Guest Darrell Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) These guys are what I deem as "Dangerous" line of work. Behind enemy lines. While some got these for being the leaders of Partisans and not for actually fighting ... regardless .. they were behind enemy lines where capture meant CERTAIN death ... not that the regular captives had a much better time Post 'em folks How about a 1st Class awarded to Savely Lukitch Grischenko May 18, 1949: Edited April 28, 2006 by Darrell
Guest Darrell Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Next the second Class.Awarded to Victor Ivanovitch Kuleshov on December 01, 1947.The Medal:

NavyFCO Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 The reason why the son's book is in such nice condition is that he was killed during the War...
Wild Card Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Gentlemen,I would like to present Major Ivan Yurkin
Wild Card Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I guess that it could be said that when it came to Partisan medals, he was what we would call a ?double dipper.? Here we have his temporary award certificate issued by Ukrainian Headquarters of Partisan Movement for his 2nd class medal
Wild Card Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 and here is the same for his 1st class medal which is signed by Col. Orlov, commander of Independent Special Purpose Unit of USSR NKGB.
Wild Card Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 A kind of interesting sidelight is that his Victory medal document is, as I understand it, signed by Lt. Gen. Milshtein, chief of USSR NKGB
Stogieman Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Hey WC! Now that's an extremely nice & interesting group that screams RESEARCH ME!!!!!!!
Wild Card Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Thank you very much for the compliment, Stogieman. I certainly agree with your research recommendation, although these NKVD/KGB types often prove to be rather difficult. Also, I need to get in touch with a good source for this type of work. Thanks again, glad you enjoyed it.Best wishes,Wild Card
