See, this is the sort of tip I'm talking about.
I know I'm a bit thicker than most but I just learned that (and correct me if I'm wrong) that a vet of the GPW, who was deactivated in 45/46/47 got an Order Booklet (or Medals Certificate) and that was that; what he got in the GPW was just about all he got and that was all that would show up in these booklets. Anything else would be fakers trying to, uh, fake things, or less-often handwritten enties for those few who served in the Soviet AF right after the GPW.
