Re: Very bizarre temporary certificate for VoG
Very quirky! - maybe locally printed outside Russia with what was available?

Re: Very bizarre temporary certificate for VoG
Rarely have I seen this response from Alexei! I am very proud of this achievement. :p
I assume this is a "recently arrived in conquered Germany" adaptation of weird alien (Roman) script fonts (turn them upside down and twist them around) for printing a temporary medal award certificate in something like Russian. How extensive was the Soviet infrastructrure for printing unit medal award documents for low-on-the-food-chain units like labor units? |

Re: Very bizarre temporary certificate for VoG
I faintly remember seeing a similarly type document some time ago, if that can help somehow... :o

Re: Very bizarre temporary certificate for VoG
I've never seen anything like it before.
Marc, do you happen to have any scans? I will aslo do some asking around. It was obviously printed in Germany. The funny thing is that they didn't even have to change any characters, just turn some of them upside down. Love it!:love Alexei |

Re: Very bizarre temporary certificate for VoG
You are right of course. It could've been printed in any country using a Latin alphabet.

Re: Very bizarre temporary certificate for VoG
Alexei,
No critics, there... Juste a technical thought : did I miss any Umlaut or any other specific german sign... ;) Cheers. Ch. |
