The Awards Of Marshal Tito.
#1
This one I´ve never seen it before. It depicts Tito as an Air Marshal!:)
The man sure had very nice uniforms.

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

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

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!

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

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.

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.
