Hello. I have got a set of 4 medals and the picture of the soldier who presumably worn them. Could somebody help me with translation?
Thanks

It all lines up - the Sergeant in 1946 is a Captain by 58. All the medals line up with the paperwork apart from the paperwork doesn't list one of the "For Combat Merits" medals. Nice consecutive Red Stars too.

The medals I've got are the Glory3, CS no-num, Koenigsberg and XXX anniversary army&fleet. No red stars, unfortunately, and no bravery medal!
cheers

The attached award citation is dated 1945 long after the abolition of unit commissars required for countersigning orders, including awards. This is the unusual example of a major as the regimental commander, with a senior-ranking lieutenant colonel as his positionally subordinate chief of staff.
Here's the photo. This is the only time I can remember seeing such an occurrence.

How do you account for such an occurance? Just wondering. . .

Here's a very similar case - also a Major commanding and a LtCol as chief of staff. From Order of the 64th Guards Tank Brigade nr. 04/N, dated Feb 8, 1944.

I was on "the site" today (you can blame Bill for causing the relapse) and came across this set of awards for a special operation in 1943.
Included with the "usuals" are an Order "Badge Of Honour", Medal "Partisan Of The Patriotic War" 1st Class and a 11 year old getting a Medal "For Bravery".
I know there were some teenage Heroes Of The Soviet Union but 11 is the youngest I've seen so far. Anyone got any certificated younger recipients they know of?
