This medal is one of the post-war issues that were awarded by a Voenkomat (Military Commissariat) at the veteran\u2019s place of residence. The reasons for the late issue could vary but in most instances, the Voenkomat medals were \u201ccatch-up\u201d awards to those who had taken part in the battle and then somehow overlooked by the awarding authorities during WW2 and in the immediate post-war years.<\/em><\/p>\n
