slava1stclass Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 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.

JapanX Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 We now have evidence of a Red Army officer wearing U.S. Army jump wings. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slava1stclass Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Gents, A second image (albeit blurrier) of the same officer/jump wings (post # 117 above) from a different angle.
