This is a "catch-up" award given by the 1 Belorussian Front in the ruins of Berlin for actions a year earlier.

The answer if you have to be real nice to me:).

Actually, the Soviet Order of Battle states the 18 Air Defense Artillery Division was attached to the 1 Belorusian Front at the end of the war.
