My tiny contribution, Gratitude Certificate # 359, the certificate handed out to those taking part in the battle for Berlin:

Were they all numbered 359 or is this just coincidence?

Gratitude certificate # 359 is for taking berlin on May 2nd. Certificate # 342 is for the encirclement of Berlin for example and # 304 is for taking Altdam. Stalin made many decrees awarding Gratitude certificates and every victory or battle has an own decree number. So you will find a lot of certificates with # 359 for the big amount of troops in Berlin.
Edit: this is an excellent book showing all the numbered Gratitude certificates. Highly recomended!!
