Re: Glory 3, 655351, Wounds, Seelow

His record card states he was part of the 47th guards rifle division on the 1st Belorussian front, which adds up with his citation and his injury just over the Oder and on the way to Seelow on 16.4.45

The rest of his Award Sheet states that he was in the 27th Rifle Division, which was part of the 2nd Belorussian front and not in this area at that time.

Perhaps his memory got a little muddled when he was relaying his story to the clerk 3 years later? No one wanted to question the one legged, one man farmer :).
