Commissar of the Red Army Lev Mekhlis
This is the overcoat of Lev Mekhlis, head of the Commissars of the Red Army. Note the unique insignia he used from 1937 (M1935) through 1942. He has Army General First rank insignia, but with black collar piping and gold commissar stars without sleeve rank insignia. He was the only one with this rank; really nasty guy.
Its difficult for overcoats to impress me, but this one is terrific. DougD |
