Since it’s been so quiet here of late, I dug a couple pieces out of my Collection that are from the Time of the Stalingrad Siege. First, the Soviet Medal, Some of their awards were pretty generic, and were given to cover any number of situations, this one says: “For the defense of Stalingrad. For our Soviet motherland”
The German counterpart is the "Winter Battle in the East 1941–42 Medal "(Medaille Winterschlacht im Osten 1941/42)
