I had no idea it was that large. Only seeing photos of it alone in books and other places, I did not realize it was that large (or was worn with a "rosette").

Gents,

A rare image of the legendary 1st Ukrainian Front commander's public viewing in Kyiv, April 1944. Vatutin was ambushed by Ukrainian nationalist insurgents on February 28th, 1944 and succumbed to his wounds six weeks later.

Quite a find!

Thanks for sharing!

Do you know exactly what wounds he died of? Since living with wounds for six weeks sounds a little bit... Interesting?

GabrielMk3,

His eventual cause of death was sepsis - brought on by his wounds.

Gents,

This unidentified security services colonel likes to line 'em all up on one side, and one side only.
