30th Anniversay Victory over Germany Great Patriotic War Medal
« on: July 12, 2016, 11:35:31 AM »
Here is the 30th Anniversary medal of the Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War (WW2).

This medal was issued to WW2 veterans.

The image on the front of the medal is based on a statue entitled " The Motherland Calls" in honor of those who served during the Battle of Stalingrad..
