Stolen Red Banners? Reported in a history book?...
Gents,
I vaguely remember reading somewhere about a case of Orders of the Red Banner stolen during WWII. I think it was in an Antony Beevor book and/or discussed once on the forum. Does this ring bells for anyone? Any pointers? I'm interested in rereading the story, if I didn't just imagine it. Thanks! |

I've heard the same with a cache of OPW 2nd classes at Stalingrad. From secondhand accounts a few found there on the battlefield have been unawarded early type 1 examples (at least unresearchable). I'm guessing it was a serious offense to be in illegal possession of one at the time?
