    U.S. Army Decorations Awarded to Red Army Personnel in World War II

    Gents,

    While not a decoration per se, this is the first time I've ever encountered an immediate post-war image of a Red Army soldier wearing U.S. Army Airborne wings.

    We know U.S. Army personnel were awarded Red Army Guards badges at war's end. We now have evidence of a Red Army officer wearing U.S. Army jump wings.

    Regards,

    That's definitely something new!

    Could it be some kind of souvenir from military fraternization?

    Any info about when and where this photo was taken?

    Regards,

    Nick
