For some unknown reason, I never posted the images of the medal nor the research back in 2009. Better late than never....

Cheers, Ade.

Auke very kindly obtained these scans for me from the podvig site, as I could not find my way around with my VERY limited Russian. :o

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Auke. I was reliant on the translation I got with it, clearly this is at fault. Much appreciated.

The city of Liebuss on the river Oder (Odra) in the East part of Germany, close to the border with Poland. Ironically, even tough the city was a part of Poland for a very short period (in the middle ages), it has influenced current polish administrative division - there's Lubuskie Voivodeship and thisname comes from Lubusz, which was Polish (or, more generally - local slavic name of the city).
