Congratulations Tom! :thumbsup
Nice combat ORB and nice citation! As Bill suggested, since he was officer, you might be able to get his personal file and learn a lot more about Losev. |

Thanks Paul!
I couldn't find the write up for the Nevsky on Podvig unfortunately. Perhaps that's just me being useless! Tom |

I think you're looking at Kropstädt in Wittenberg, Saxony. Finding that on the map and then looking around you could find all the other places named (or not).
