Re: U.S. Army Decorations Awarded to Red Army Personnel in World War II
Gents,
A Legion of Merit in the degree of Legionnaire to a Red Army lieutenant. All things considered, a somewhat inflated award considering his junior rank. Regards, slava1stclass |

Re: U.S. Army Decorations Awarded to Red Army Personnel in World War II
Is it possible after the war any recipients of US medals were accused of being spies? I once heard recipients for the partisan 1st glass medals were sometimes hung accused of being collaborators.

As it was newly instituted, part of the explanation lies in the fact the Legion of Merit was the decoration of choice for foreign recipients - the reason behind its four distinct degrees. In the U.S. Army, however, it is only awarded for achievement not involving combat valor/heroism (unlike the case with some of the Army's sister services which do award it for combat valor). As it was such a new decoration back then, there was much confusion over the award criteria - to include for U.S. personnel. It is not uncommon to see instances of the Legion of Merit awarded to U.S. Army master sergeants and lieutenants at that time - Audie Murphy among them. Today, however, such instances of combat-related Legion of Merit awards to these ranks are nonexistent. Regards, slava1stclass |

Re: U.S. Army Decorations Awarded to Red Army Personnel in World War II
Gents,
Great image of an unidentified colonel (purported to have later risen to general officer rank) with the given name of Mikhail. Photo was taken in April 1946. Note his Bronze Star Medal. Regards, slava1stclass |

Re: U.S. Army Decorations Awarded to Red Army Personnel in World War II
Young looking colonel...but then I guess that happened alot back then. If you didn't get killed, you got promoted.
