    Good bidding Christer!  🙂

     

    I assume he was with the "Svenska röda stjärnan" (Swedish Red Star organisation, later changed to blue star...since the red star was too close to the Soviets).

    That's a rather unique piece of history (especially in Sweden) since it was a small part of that war. I have two medals from one of the ladies at that unit.
