The Awards Of Marshal Tito.

This one I´ve never seen it before. It depicts Tito as an Air Marshal!:)
The man sure had very nice uniforms.

Re: Quite a nice picture

Very nice! Is it just me or does it look like he's wearing miniatures?

Re: Quite a nice picture

Yup! Druzhe Tito always preferred to wear his miniatures rather than his ribbon bars, especially during special ocasions, which weren´t few, as it seems he was a very friendly guy so he had his social agenda quite busy :D

Here is a clearer picture of his miniatures. (Taken from wikipedia)

That's another great picture. If you are going to have a social agenda, sharing it with the Queen isn't a bad thing!

Re: Quite a nice picture

All of his awards - including his Order of Victory - are supposedly held by the history museum in Belgrade.

Re: Quite a nice picture

Thanks Lapa!

Now, the question is if all of them are displayed... Guess one of us will have to go to Belgrade to confirm :D

They aren't, but you can visit the Tito mausoleum which displays two uniforms with full deck of miniatures on them.

Re: Quite a nice picture

I can´t say this is a nice picture, but rather interesting concerning the mix we can see. Look at the Vietnam war helmet (and flak jacket?) and the SFRY miniatures being worn. This is a croatian soldier from the Balkan wars of the 90´s.
