The For Seizing Konigsberg Medal: history of creation
The paper relies on analysis of archival documents and published works to research the history of instituting the For Seizing Konigsberg Medal, and describes how the Technical Committee of the Red Army Chief Supply Directorate worked on the suggested design. It introduces in academic circulation quantitative data from the lists of units and formations that took part in the operation to seize Konigsberg. It also follows the postwar period of the awarding campaign.
