Campaign medal documents

I think the name is Nikolay Yakovlevich Shtan. Unfortunately I can't help with the unit. It really puzzles me.

Maybe the unit is 203 автомобильный, автотранспортный ???
also might the name be Штых ?

Could be Shtich as well indeed. I am still learning with Cyrilic

I am going to have a closer look at the document and name later today. Thank you both for your help, I really appreciate it.

Sometimes the stamp can help decipher the unit's designation, but I am afraid the stamp is quite illegible. What appears to be written is "203 аттсп". The only word I can make out on the stamp is "brigade" or "Бригады". Regardless, I suspect this Штых Николай Яковлевич may be person, however the link to any documentation for his Bravery Medal is dead. It would appear the archive is still a work in progress.

Thank you very much for your help Bill. Looks interesting and I am curious if more information will be found and added in the archive.

Oddly I think the have a 'card' for the same person twice??? It is hard to say, the award date for this one is 43-44? but yours is 45?

[Bill Garvy]

Same name, same year of birth, but, in my opinion, different persons.

More than that, they have the same year of enlistment as well as the same location of enlistment no? They give the rank as the rank at the time of the awarding I believe and the earlier one is for 'a red army man' and the later award is for a 'private' What am I missing that they are different people? How did you get just those three results?
I've convinced myself the citations are different.....

[Marcel Banziger]

Starts to be very interesting. Looking forward to read where it leads to.

I obtained the three entries by refining the search by entering his name and year of birth.

Born 1919 in the village of Lebyaze, Chuguevsky District, Kharkov Region, Ukraine. Enlisted Krasnozavodsky RVK (Regional Military Commissariat), Ukrainian SSR, Kharkov, Krasnozavodsky District.

You're right. I stand corrected. From the record it would appear he was awarded a Bravery Medal in 1945. The citation is dated November 5th, 1944, for "feats" March 9th, 1943, August 13th & 14th, 1944. The decree (Указ) is dated October 29th, 1945. He was also awarded the 1985 Order of the Patriotic War, 1st Class.
