Rarely have I seen this response from Alexei! I am very proud of this achievement. :p
I assume this is a "recently arrived in conquered Germany" adaptation of weird alien (Roman) script fonts (turn them upside down and twist them around) for printing a temporary medal award certificate in something like Russian.
How extensive was the Soviet infrastructrure for printing unit medal award documents for low-on-the-food-chain units like labor units?

I faintly remember seeing a similarly type document some time ago, if that can help somehow... :o

I've never seen anything like it before.
Marc, do you happen to have any scans? I will aslo do some asking around.
It was obviously printed in Germany. The funny thing is that they didn't even have to change any characters, just turn some of them upside down. Love it!:love

Hi Alexei,
Why Germany ? Logical from an historical point of view... But is there anything technically related to the document that leads you to think this... ?
Cheers.

You are right of course. It could've been printed in any country using a Latin alphabet.

Alexei,
No critics, there... Juste a technical thought : did I miss any Umlaut or any other specific german sign... ;)
Cheers.
