"Могила немецкого героя". Ага, бля, конечно. ** translation of comment ** I hate WWII.

A tragic time for all, but an amazing collection of photos and of Europe's history! Thank you for uploading these!
Daniel Ischenko said:
Doubt 'heroic' word in translation. Poor lad - mislead and thrown into the grind of WWII - may be. Not hero - simple invader.

whoa. the medal of honor.
D. Sheley said:
This is the version of the medal given to members of the U.S. Army. The Army, Navy and Air Force have different versions of the MoH.
Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
Doug Sheley: Yes, this is indeed the U.S. Army Medal of Honor, so we can add that information to this record when we update. Thanks for the comment!

The Medal of Honor is often INCORRECTLY identified as the "Congressional". Take note that it is presented by the Commander in Chief of US military forces and not by a senator or representative.
