Evaluation Documents

[Al-muell]

Here's a nice example of an early post-war valuation document on the official form. I believe that this short form was dropped soon after - in another thread in this category, You can see a doc of this type done in a more standard manner: http://soviet-awards.com/forum/sovie...arliament.html

I also own another one from the later period and it looks similar to the standard ones.

Anyway, here's what it says:

The unit here is probably 28th infantry regiment, as a person with exactly the same name and awards is listed in the regiment's awardees list.
