This is official commendation for capturing Foksani and Rymnik in Rumania, issued on August 27, 1944, adressed to all staff of unit p/n 10287, including Mladshiy Leitenant N.M. Ponomarenko, whose name is on this document.

Some more background:
Order of the Day August 27, 1944 Order of the Day, addressed to Army-General Malinovsky, announces that troops of the Second Ukrainian Front, as a result of a vigorous attack by tank formations and infantry, carried by storm the towns and large communications centres of Focsani and Romnicul-Sarat (Rymnik), important strongpoints of the German defences. The Order mentions 28 commanders of tankmen, troops, artillerymen, airmen, sappers and signallers whose units and formations have distinguished themselves. A saint of 20 salvoes was fired from 224 Moscow guns. Source : "Marxists Internet Archive" So this may be the certificate of one of those 28. |

Thank you VERY much for your replies!!!!
So this document was not necessarily given to an airman! Well still a nice piece of history! Best wishes Christian |
