Red Star,1510538,Artillery Supply Officer,16th Army,Far East 1945

[PaulR]

Hello,

I have here a really weird ORS research. What blows my mind is that he was awarded the Victory Over Germany Medal, despite spending all of his time on the "Japanese" front. No mention of the Japanese Victory Medal... What do you all think about this? A possible error?

[PaulR]

More of the docs. Thanks to Auke for the translations.

[PaulR]

More documents

[PaulR]

Now even more... last set.

[CtahhR]

It is most likely he hadn't been awarded his VOJ by the time that card was filled out in 1946. I've found most VOJs to be awarded in 48-9 or even later on in the mid 1960's.

[PaulR]

That makes sense... but why would he have received the Victory Over Germany?

[desantnik]

Everyone in uniform at the time was authorized the VoG medal. Even policemen, NKVD, and some labor front folks who never got close to the front received the VoG. Japan awarding was more select - only actual participants were authorized.

Whether they all physically received the VoG medal or whether it was recorded on an award card was a different story.

[PaulR]

Thank you! So he was definitely eligible for the VoJ then... just not recorded?

[CtahhR]

With information available any answer would only be speculative.

As I have said most of the VOJs were awarded after his record card was filled in.

[PaulR]

That makes sense. Thank you all!!
