Thank you guys for all the time and effort you have put into my document. I am saving and printing everything, so I can make a file about this document and I can do any further research myself. These campaign documents are great pieces of history.
Regards, Rik

Hello,
Some comments from me on the SHTYKH's document for the Victory over Japan.
аттсп= армёйский тяжёлый танко-самоходный полк , i.e. Army Level Heavy Tank-SPG regiment.
The guy with birth year of 1919 does NOT fit this document. The man from Victory over Japan medal was in service in 1946. But the guy from 1919 who was awarded Bravery Medal in November 1945 was wounded in 1944 and was NOT in service since end of 1944 (99%).
It is also possible, that no traces of him are on the podvig naroda if he joined the military service late in war.

SHTYKH's unit during the war was 203 tank brigade, which was stationed in the Far East during the whole war. In August 1945, as part of 15 Army, participated in the campaign again Japanese forces.
On 24 August it was stationed approximately in Xinxingcun : Google Maps

Document set awarded to soldat/Red Army soldier Michail Aleksandrovich Malievskiy:
Document for the Liberation of Warsaw medal, dated December 25 1946, by the commander of the 48th independant rifle maintenance (?) Pomerania Order of Aleksander Nevsky, Red Star communications batallion Major Achekyan, document # A No 426446.

Document for the Victory over Germany medal, dated June 11 1946, by the commander of the 48th independant rifle maintenance (?) Pomerania Order of Aleksander Nevsky, Red Star communications batallion Major Achekyan, document # Sh No 203005
If anyone is able to shed some light on the unit that would be very welcome! I even question my translation of the word maintenance in this situation. Perhaps a communications maintenance batallion connected to a rifle unit? Thanks for any possible leads!!

Hello,
Yes, АТТСП appearedd because of the June 1945 restructuring. But it took time. These ATTSP units were organIsed onthe bases of the existing units normally on the base of tank brigades. The number and the honourific names were inherited from the base unit.
In thos case, 203 tank brigade, which has never on the German front. You can still see the old seal with word “brigade” in it on your document. Even on the maps produced in August 1945 in the 15 army, the unit is called 203 tank brigade.

Berlin and Warsaw medal documents for private first class KRIGA Pavel Semeonovich, 1924.
Mortar crew leader of 21 Guards Motorised Rifle Briagde, 1 Gu. Tank Army.
Awarded Red Star in 1944 and Red Banner in May 1945 (Berlin battle).
Interestingly, his original ORB recommendation was for Hero of Soviet Union title.
It was approved 3 times up to the corps level. But was downgraded to ORB at Army level.
KRIGA and his crew was the first one to cross Spree on 23 April 1945 near Köpenick. Defending the bridgehead, his crew members had to repeal enemy counterattack, in which his crew members were taken out of action. KRIGA had to take machine-gun to defend the position and hold it until the main forces reinforced them.
His citation states wrong date of the action - 27 April. The Spree crossing took place on 23 April at around 13:00.
