Re: Battle Participation documents.

The third. I haven't translated this yet but the seller gave me this list of all the documents:

Battle at the City of Shopron (Hungary)
Battle for Galats (Romania)
"Great Budapest Battle" - SW sector
"Great Budapest Battle" - general destruction of the enemy
Battle for the Dunai - destruction tank armies
Battle for the Dunai - taking of some cities
Battle for Austria

The cover: УЧАСТНИКУ БОЕВ ЗА БРАИЛОВ Румыния - To the PARTICIPANT of FIGHTS FOR Brailov, Romania (which is now in Ukraine, I believe)

Re: Battle Participation documents.

The fourth. Dated the day before Christmas 1944....
Hard to believe this got only one bid on eBay. I saw it listed initially and tossed in a very low minimum bid just to keep track of it figuring 10 GPW documents would go for some descent dough.

The cover: I can't translate it because of the lower case. All I can make out is Budapest.

Inside:
За отличные боевые действия по прорыву сильно укрепленной обороны противника юго-западнее Будапешта и за овладение городами Секешфехервар и гвардии

For excellent operations on breaking of strongly strengthened defence of the opponent Southwest (of?) Budapest and for mastering by the cities of Szekesfehervar and guards

Re: Battle Participation documents.

Lucky number seven. Our hero Chinskiy has made it seven months on the front lines without becoming a terminal casualty. Good luck indeed.

Re: Battle Participation documents.

Eight. Hungary, April Fool's Day, 1945.
The cover: УЧАСТНИКУ БОЕВ ЗА ГОРОД ШОПРОН Венгрия - To the PARTICIPANT of FIGHTS FOR the City of Sopron Hungary.
Sopron is in the extreme North-West corner area of Hungary, on the border with Austria.
Franz Liszt and Béla Bartók were from Sopron.

Re: Battle Participation documents.

Number nine. Two days later. The cover: УЧАСТНИКУ БОЕВ В АВСТРИИ - TO THE PARTICIPANT OF FIGHTS IN AUSTRIA.

Inside specifics:
За отличные боевые действия по овладению на территории Австрии промышленным городом и крупным железнодорожным узлом Винер Нойштадт и городами Эйзенштадт, Неункирхен, Глоггснит-важными опорными пунктами немцев на подступах к вене-гвардии
For excellent operations on mastering in territory of Austria an industrial city both a large railway junction Wiener Nojshtadt and the cities of Eisenstadt, Neunkirchen, and Gloggnitz-important strong points of Germans on the approches to Vienna guards


These nine documents came with a Bulgarian government issued award booklet (dated in '53 I think (posted in the Bulgarian section earlier today)) for their GPW '44/'45 medal again issued to Chinskiy.

Enjoy.

The man had an interesting father's name - АВТОНОМОВИЧ.
It means his fathers name was АВТОНОМ - AUTONOMOUS.
