Hello All,
I recently purchased a large group of USSR archive ID photos. This officer appears to be a high rank. The sholder boards can't quite be mader out. There are two "lumps" one above the other. Marshal's star and USSR emblem; or marshal's star and brach of service emblem? Can't tell.The lapel insignia is a 5 pointed star surrounder by 2 oak leaf braches. That would be motorized rifles if gold colored and administrative if silver colored.My USSR uniform book is dated 1961 and shows different gold lapel trim for marshals and generals. The photo is dated 1957. His medals are 2 Red Stars, OPW, Victory medal, Order of Lenin and a few unidentifiable. If he was a marshal or general you would think he would have more higer awards then just the Order of Lenin. Hopefull someone can give me his name and rank from the back. Thanks for you help.
Can anyone give me a name and rank?
Thanks,
Tom
