slava1stclass Posted September 6, 2012 Author 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. Regards, slava1stclass
JapanX Posted September 8, 2012 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
slava1stclass Posted October 2, 2012 Author Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Gents, A second image (albeit blurrier) of the same officer/jump wings (post # 117 above) from a different angle. Regards, slava1stclass Edited October 2, 2012 by slava1stclass
