Soviet Penal Unit Penalty Strike Book
I finished a fantastic, first-person narrative of a Soviet penal unit officer and highly recommend the following:
http://www.amazon.com/Penalty-Strike...DW9YVDG1MWJMKQ It greatly increased my understanding of the policies and employment of these units with frequent mentions of Soviet awards and awardings. I purchased and enjoyed the eReader version, but will consider purchasing a hardcopy for my library. |

Re: Soviet Penal Unit Penalty Strike Book
I forgot to mention the book describes an incident in which a master sergeant forged a Hero Star in order to get priority in post-war return to get home to his pregnant wife who was expecting their baby.
