Medal for the Defense of Stalingrad
Variation 3 ‘Voenkomat’
Made of brass. It measures 32.09 mm in width, 37.21 mm in height including the eyelet and it weighs 15.6 grams without its suspension.Â

This medal is one of the post-war issues that were awarded by a Voenkomat (Military Commissariat) at the veteran’s place of residence. The reasons for the late issue could vary but in most instances, the Voenkomat medals were “catch-up” 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.
