Short description of personal combat feat or accomplishment
Fighting during continuous enemy artillery and mortar fire in difficult, mobility-restricted, mountainous-forested terrain near the population centers of Ruske and Velka Polyana, Private Klimov advanced forward of the fighting positions and by capably changing firing positions, he suppressed one enemy firing position with accurate machinegun bursts and killed as many as 35 German soldiers, thus permitting the freedom of movement to our advancing small units.
Comrade Klimov is deserving of the Order of Glory III Class.
Signed Regimental Commander, Major Taratukhin and Chief of Staff, Major Blinov on 12.11.44
Endorsed the Division Commander Colonel on 1 December 1944 (largely illegible due to out of focus image)

On behalf of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet USSR, for exemplary accomplishment of the Command’s combat missions in battle against the German invaders and for displaying valor and courage, I award the following decorations:
Order of Glory III Class
6. Private Mikhail Nikolaevich Klimov – Crew Commander, Machinegun company, 465 Rifle Regiment

Designation Serial Number Awarding Organization
Glory III 350.078 60 Army dated 20.5.1945
Glory II 38.256 167 Rifle Division dated 3.12.44
(overwritten Edict dated 31.3.56)
Victory over Germany Medal Edict dated 9.5.45

Verified by Merenitskii Regional Military Commissariat Lieutenant Colonel Fomenko dated 2 June 1956


An award card dated 5 April 1955 captures the same information as above, yet mentions an Order Booklet (?) 457449 and adds a Bravery Medal #3.588.372 awarded by the 465 Rifle Regiment on 30.10.44 and an unnumbered Glory III awarded by the 167 Rifle Division on 3.12.44.

An award card dated 18 March 1946 lists his assignment in the 4 Ukrainian Front, 60 Army, 9 Independent Battalion and was subsequently overwritten in 1956 to reflect the awarding of an Order of Glory II Class by an Edict of the Supreme Soviet dated 31.3.56 for an Order of Glory III Class awarded by the 60 Army.

An undated, abbreviated award card verifies the awarding of a Glory III Class by the 60 Army dated 20.05.45 was annulled and substituted for an Order of Glory II Class by Edict of the Supreme Soviet dated 31.3.56.

Another abbreviated award card dated 4 April 1956 verifies the information stated immediately above.

An interesting correction for a glorious confusion. So often, these seem to have gone uncorrected.

Re: Glory II,38256,Machinegun Commander,465th Rifle Regiment,Ruske-Velka Polyana

Do i have this right... He was awarded an OG3 in 1944 for the action mentioned above. He then was awarded a second OG3 for another feat, then they realised their mistake and gave him his 2nd class 11 years later?

Cheers,

Tom

Oh nice award though!
