Order of Glory, 2nd cl., Type 3, #20471, awarded in April 1945
to a Guards Private, reconnaissance scout of the 38th Guards
Rifle Division, 2nd Belorussian Front. He received the award
for personally killing up to 15 German soldiers and taking 3
POWs in a single skirmish in Poland. Interestingly, this
soldier never got promoted despite winning two Orders of
Glory. Within two years from his release from the active duty,
he was stripped of his decorations, possibly due to a criminal
conviction. The Order of Glory is in fine condition and comes
with archival research.
