WWII Soviet “Medal for the Capture of Berlin” Award Booklet – 1033rd Rifle Regiment, 280th Rifle Division (+ Research)
Original WWII Soviet Medal for the Capture of Berlin award booklet, named to Senior Sergeant Semen Pavlovich Ivanenko (1914–?), with additional wartime research documents included in digital format.
Ivanenko served with the 1033rd Rifle Regiment, 280th Rifle Division (Red Banner, Order of Suvorov) and participated in major late-war operations in Poland and Germany, culminating in the final assault on Berlin.
The included research significantly enhances this grouping and documents his combat service in detail.
Most notably, award records show Ivanenko distinguished himself during heavy combat in January 1945 in the Kielce region, Poland. During intense fighting against German defensive positions:
- On 12 January 1945, near Shidłów, he destroyed an enemy machine-gun position and eliminated 8 German soldiers
- On 13 January 1945, during enemy counterattacks, he delivered accurate fire against enemy infantry, helping repel the assault
- His combat performance earned him the Medal for Courage, while another award sheet shows recommendation for the Order of Glory 3rd Class
His later participation in the final Soviet push into Germany is confirmed by this named Medal for the Capture of Berlin booklet.
Details:
- Named to Semen Pavlovich Ivanenko
- Rank: Senior Sergeant
- Unit: 1033rd Rifle Regiment / 280th Rifle Division
- Award: Medal for the Capture of Berlin
- Booklet serial: Б No. 272843
- Includes additional digital research documents
Condition is very good overall with normal age wear, minor staining, folds, and handling marks. Stamp and handwritten entries remain clearly visible.
A highly desirable researched Soviet WWII grouping to a front-line NCO with documented combat action in Poland and participation in the final assault on Berlin. Far more desirable than a standard unresearched campaign medal booklet.
