For future reference it is in the SEP-OCT 07 issue, #5.

When my copy comes, I'll know. The perils of being an OMSA life member?! :mad:

I really enjoyed the article.

It was interesting to see that it wasn't just the really high level awards that were given to foreigners.

Also that they were even given the stipend coupon books for the awards entitling them to a monthly stipend from the Soviet government (even though they were not allowed to accept the stipend).

Just (FINALLY :mad: ) got my copy. And it was well worth the wait! Much lovely eye-candy there. :D

Join the OMSA (though NOT as a life member) and get your own copy! :thumbsup

Guys,

How can a non member get a copy?

Maybe on the OMSA website?

Try the back issues folks. They may sell to aliens. :cool:

Have you guys been successful by researching awards that were given to foreigners? I have one Red Star that is supposed to have been awarded to an East German officer and I just ordered research for it. What are my chances to get a positive return if it's true?

It's possible you'll get a "hit", but maybe not a citation.
