Here's a photo I ran across in my archive. It's a photograph of Russian troops during the Mayday parade, I believe in 1945. The sad thing is that not only are they holding the LAH DE poll-top and box, but a fortune in other standards, streamers, poll-tops. Thank God they didn't throw the LAH piece under the tanks, which they did a lot of. The DE is now in one of the military museums. The stunning thing is, this is just the front row; there seems to be an entire row of soldiers slightly off camera, holding standards!
