My grandfather was in penal batalion for punching his lieutenant in the face. I think they gave him 2 month and he only lasted 3 hours, got wounded and almost lost his arm. He told me that survival time for any soldier in the batalion was 2 days.

Here is the original citation for the Red Star, awarded 1st January 1942. Also his Leningrad Act.
