British Awards Bestowed On Red Army Personnel During World War II
#5
In the thread entitled "Zhukov picture", you will see a display of all his (Georgi Zhukov's) awards. In the bottom of the display, second from the left next to the American Bronze Star, is a French Order of the Legion d'Honeur. I believe this version (and I am not THAT familiar with French awards, but I think it may be an Order of a Knight of the Legion of Honor) was worn won the left hip, suspended from a wide, red sash over the right shoulder. Again, I am NO authority on French awards, but it seems a logical deduction.

One last observation: I think I saw the program in question, and I believe it was filmed on the date he received this award from the French nation, hence the everyday uniform, instead of the parade uniform.
