WWII and for a short time afterwards. There are many comprehensive threads pertaining to these badges here...

I hate to be so ignorant but what good books are available on WWII Soviet awards in English ?

I now this is a rookie question but Russian material is scarce in the heartland of America. I never had the chance to handle these awards and know absolutely nothing about them. But they are appealing. If for no other reason I would just like to be able to recognize Soviet military awards.

Thanks

Steve, one of the earliest and best in English is this:

Most everything else that is worth it's salt is in Russian.

I myself am not super uppity-up on ODMs - I just use them to adorn my cloth. I would think that a few others will chime in and direct you more comprehensibly.

Thanks buddy.

Anyone see the photo ??

[Steven Macquillin]

No picture, couldn't see a thing!!!!!!!

[RichieC]

Try again Dom, and I'll edit the thread. I have noticed this photo issue over the course of the last few days.

Steven, why the exclamation points? And, why invisible mode in my section? No violation, just curious.

Cheers,
Richie

Hi Richie, no malice intended, bad grammar, just a reply to Dom's post about the fact we could not see a photo with regards to the attachment. Do not understand your quote about 'why invisible mode in my section' what does that mean so I know for future reference.
Kind regards Steve.
