Awarded to General Josef Činčár.

Josef Činčár was the Deputy Minister Of Defence and Head Of The Czechoslovak Air Force and Air Defence.

He originally served in the Pro-Nazi Slovakian Forces from 1942 to November 1944 before deserting to Poland and joining the Pro-Soviet Czechoslovak Forces. He did 6 combat flights in 1945.

Unfortunately his group has been thrown to the winds after his death but just a single piece of this jigsaw is better than none.

I am not sure how I missed this thread. I own a set of items from Generalporucik Cincar, as you have mentioned his items were briskly sold off after his death on August 10, 2013.

I need to photograph the set of items I have and post them together, will do it some time.

Here's what I have from his estate:
- 11 Soviet veteran documents, to different armies and divisions including infantry, tank, etc. I assume he received them as a "brotherly gesture;" a few are neatly typed out for him.
- 4 veteran badges to go along with the docs
- Book to badge for XX Years of Kazakh Virgin Lands (1974)
- 3 Soviet medal books: VOG (he is still listed as a Porucik / Lieutenant), 60th Anniversary of SA, Zhukov Medal
- Russian Federation presentation Molnija Watch with Cincar's portrait, here are some pics.
