Order of Glory, 1st cl., #3154, awarded to a former reconnaissance scout of the
3rd Ukrainian Front for the 1944 fighting in Hungary. As was often the case, the
recipient had been erroneously awarded with two Orders of Glory 2nd cl., one of
which was later replaced with the Glory 1st cl. according to the Soviet award
code. A highly decorated enlisted soldier, he took part in the 1945 Victory Parade
in Moscow. The order is in excellent condition. Comes with a copy of the award
commendations for all three Orders of Glory.
Order of Glory, 2nd cl., #23035, awarded in April 1945 to a Recon Scout Private of
the 2nd Belorussian Front. He killed 30 German soldiers and captured 6 POWs while
operating ahead of the regular infantry during the Red Army Jan. - Feb. 1945
offensives in Pomerania. EXC condition. Comes with archival research.
