Included in the set is his Red star #1330150, his Bravery medal #3549504 and his award booklet. The person I bought these from had already had the awards researched, which I received with them.

Nice set! It's odd that the ORS citation is so brief. The ones I have seen so far are pretty lengthy and filled with such colorful, propaganda-filled language.

[Auke]

This must indeed be one of the shortest citations ever. Nevertheless, a nice set!

[ObKrieger]

I think by that point in time the Soviet generals were getting a little on the lazy side.
