I have one of these beautiful medals! Type 1 with it's native block and ribbon, and a small name is scratched on the back - Yulia.
And a thanks to your good tip in one of your YT Shorts, for looking for shine on the medal! It is very helpful.

As always, a facinating episode on this overlooked area of World War 2 and the brave soldiers who participated in it. Igor is the best teacher of these medals and events surrounding them.

Another great video and Igor's story to recognise the American serviceman was such a nice touch. Thanks for sharing such great content guys.
