Time to blow the dust from this old thread! :)
I have, no thanks to my own research, found out the Soviet citizens that got the titel Yugoslavian Hero title!! A kind reply from slovenian collector collegue Dejan makes it possible to add the following 16 names: BIRJUZOV SERGEJ SEMJONOVIC Army-Marshal Year ? DULKIN IVANA ANTONOVIC Air Force-Senior leutnant 21.June 1945 DIMITRIJENKO PAVEL IGNATJEVIC Air Force 21.June 1945 JAKIMOV PAVEL NIKITOVIC Air Force captain Septembre 1944 KALINKIN BORIS TIHONOVIC Air Force captain Septembre 1944 KONSTANTINOV IVAN NIKIFOROVIC Air Force captain 21.June 1945 KOZAK SEMJON ANTONOVIC Army Gen.Major Year ? MALINOVSKI RODION JAKOVLJEVIC Army Marshal 27.May 1964 MANAGADZE ALEKSANDAR TEOPANOVIC Air Force Senior leutnant 21.June 1945 OHRIMENKO GRIGORIJ NIKOLAJEVIC Navy captain II class 21.June 1945 SUDEC VLADIMIR ALEKSANDROVIC Air Force General 27.May 1964 SORNIKOV ALEKSANDAR SERGEJEVIC Air Force major Septembre 1944 ULISKO VASILIJE ANDREJEVIC Air Force major 21.June 1945 VITRUK ANDREJ NIKIFOROVICAir Force general 1944-45 ? ZDANOV VLADIMIR IVANOVIC Army Gen.Lajtnant Septembre 1944 This makes the number of titels issued to Russians complete. :D Also perhaps worth mentioning is that the other titles went to: 3 albanians 1 Italian 1 Czech 1 Polack /Kim |

Great Info!
Kim,
The total number of awards to foreigners (22) tracks with the information I posted in a separate thread. No surprise that the lion's share (16/22 or 73%) went to Soviets. BTW, A. N. Vitruk's rank was Maj Gen (Aviation). Regards, slava1stclass |

Hi guys,
There is a mistake in the "Hero of Mongolia to Soviets" listing: Tereshkova, Valentina Vladimirovna did not receive the Hero title but the Hero of Labour title. Apparantly Tsedenbal did not want to give her the Hero title because no (living) Mongolian woman was honoured with the title at that point. So she got the Hero of Labour title. Jan |

Interesting that he is wearing his awards in the earlier pattern, given that the year is 1977 and he is in service.

I don't know why, but it kinda strikes me as weird that this is the one East German award the Lt. Colonel has... given his position, I would have expected a more "military" award.
Noticed in a couple of the photos in Pickard's book that this medal was available with (or at least modified to have) a five sided ribbon hangar to make it fit in more readily with other military awards. I only saw this on German uniforms, though.

From what I've seen, mostly Soviet general officers received the higher DDR awards we're accustomed to seeing.
This is low enough a fellow DDR officer could have awarded it to him without much, if any fanfare as a friendly gesture. |

Adapted to five-sided suspension
Quote:
Here are some examples of adapted Medals: Ehrentitel Aktivist der sozialistischen Arbeit (Activist of Socialist Labour) (1969) Ehrentitel Aktivist der Siebenjahrplanes (Activist of Seven Year Plan) (1960-69) Ehrentitel Aktivist der Fünfjahrplanes (Activist of Five Year Plan) (1953-69) And the normal pentagonal suspension for the Medaille für Treue Dienste, Nationalen Volksarmee (1956) Five years service. NVA personal were allowed to adapt their Civilian awards to be worn on the NVA ribbon bar albeit at there own cost. They were not supplied for them.
