If they are fakes, feal free to use them as alarming samples, in the thread about false/fakes.
Realy appreciate your opinions.

USSR WW2 Photo Book
Can't remember where I picked this up but it appears to have been printed in Moscow in 1960. As well as some of the better known pictures by Soviet war photographers it contains quite a few I haven't seen elsewhere. Thought I'd post pictures of some of the best spreads in case they were also new to members on here.
Screwback ORB to a member of a reconnaissance/intelligence
Again, translation and time selflessly provided by Rick Research. The documents were about twelve pages long!
Yefim Pavlovich NIZOV, Captain and Assistant Commander of Staff for reconnaissance/intelligence of the 911th Rifles Regiment of 244th Rifles Division.
Born in 1904, Russian, Member of the CPSU since 1928.
On the Southwest Front from 27.6.41-31.7.42
Stalingrad Front from 7.8.-22.10.42
Southwest Front since 24 January 1943
WOUNDED 1 August 1941 near (?Smopantsa ?)
WOUNDED 2 October 1941 near Kharkov
WOUNDED 5 April 1942 (can't read... should come up in other versions of the records)
In the Red Army 1926-38 and since 1941
Joined at Oktyabrsky RVK of the city of Kiev in 1926.
Previously received the Military Merit Medal and Defense of Stalingrad Medal.
Next of kin and address: wife Vera Fedorovna Nizova in the village of Barkino, Sudogotsky Raion , Ivanovsky Oblast (province).
CITATION = Reconnaissance here can also be translated as "scouting."
"Took part in the defense from 5 September to 6 September 1943 at the head of and in charge of the reconnaissance around Hill 199.5 in the staff of a group of scouts--in all 40 riflemen-- breaking through the front line of mistaken defenses, in which were destroyed 6 light machine guns and up to 50 enemy soldiers and officers. The enemy in a panic left their defensive positions and fled in the area of the village of Khrestintsa. With this entire distance the opportunity arose to advance forward up to 12 kilometers for the regiment, the division, and the entire 12th Army.
Deserves to be awarded the Order 'of the Red Banner'
26 September 1943 Commander of the 911th RR, Major Veznichenko"
AN ENTIRE ARMY CORPS ADVANCED ALONG ITS ENTIRE FRONT FOR TEN MILES BECAUSE OF THIS GUY AND HIS 40 MEN RAIDING THROUGH THE ENEMY LINES.
You can bet the Generals waaaaaay in the rear got Hero Stars, Suvorovs 1st Class, and all that exotic glittery "espensive" stuff--
Even if we "downplay" the degree of responsibility he had in the enemy's panic and so condescendingly decline to award HIM a Hero's Gold Star... by every single rule and regulation, for a feat like this at his rank he should have received whatever was considered the Supreme Award Possible: a Suvorov 3rd Class.

More on U616.
Thaks for the replys guys:D
Here are a coupe more photos for your viewing pleasure.The first photo is the Commander of U616 at the time of sinking.His name was Oblt. Koitschka and he did survive the war with most of his crew.He was a Knights Cross winner also! The story says he was a nice warm hearted guy who became a Veternarian after the war. It was attacked by no less than 8 Destroyers and an RAF bomber before finally being crippled.The other pic is my jacket now with the appropriate white top cap.Its a repro but much cheaper than the real thing:)
