    I have copies of General Orders giving the citations for 46 Distinguished Flying Crosses and eight Air Medals that were awarded to Soviet officers in 1944 and 1945. I do not know if that is the total number or just a part of those awarded.

    I just ran across a list from August 1944 of 25 recipients of the DFC. These were all presented by Harriman to Molotov in Moscow on 22 August 1944. There's probably 300 names in the list...

    Interesting that all american medals were called "orders" ;)

    Yeah, I thought that was interesting too. It was a bit confusing trying to translate them at first!

    Gents,

    A great image of an unidentified Guards Artillery Colonel with a nice mix of top-end Soviet orders and a U.S. Army-awarded Legion of Merit in the degree of Legionnaire.

    Gents,

    A nice example of the Legion of Merit in the degree of Officer as awarded to a Guards Artillery Major General. Note the device (denoting the officer degree) attached to the Legion of Merit's suspension ribbon.

    Another nice example of the Legion of Merit in the degree of Officer.

    Gents,

    The Silver Star as awarded to Sergeant Major N. I. Zhuzhoma. He was so proud of his U.S. Army decoration that it was even sculpted into the bust on his headstone (star to the right in image).

    Gents,

    Although not the most ideal image, the Distinguished Flying Cross is clearly recognizable on this unidentified aviation HSU.
