Tolkachev, Mihail Aleksandrovich, Lieutenant-Colonel, 22nd Guards Moto-Rifle Brigade

[medals73]

Parts of this group may have been shown before. As the research is untranslated except in the broadest summary terms, I can't add too much.

To begin with, closeups of the awards and an overview of the entire group.

The top four suspension items are mounted, the others are loose (but arranged for the scan).

The numbered goodies:

-- Order of the Red Banner -- 270059 (for Berlin operations, reduced from a recommended Lenin)
-- Order of the Partriotic War, 1st class -- 50201 (sorry, this rotated in scanning)
-- Order of the Patriotic War, 1st class -- 128164
-- Order of the Partriotic War, 2nd class, 1985 jubilee -- this is complex: his was 3501188 and it has gone missing (though the document is present) -- what I show here (and what he wears?) is the one awarded to his wife (I have her documented group too), 3501187 (one number apart from his) -- he also wears her Veteran of Labor in the later photo (see below)
-- Red Star -- 83449
-- Red Star -- 3230898
-- Medal of Combat Service -- unnumbered (while he wears one, a second one is shown in the records)
