Re: Anyone with a Soviet Military Encyclopedia?
Hi George, unfortunately, there is no Breydo's bio in the Soviet Military Encyclopedia. Attached is the award citation for his OGWP.

Re: Anyone with a Soviet Military Encyclopedia?
no problem, there are a lot of mistakes in the last names on the podvignaroda site...

Re: Anyone with a Soviet Military Encyclopedia?
That's great, thanks very much Alex! :thumbsup The podvignaroda site will be great once it's finished. Thanks for the suggestion of searching by name + patronymic, I guess I am lucky my relative had an unsual patronymic! Btw, this man was one of the 300+ Khmelnitsky 1 Class cavaliers. :)

Re: Anyone with a Soviet Military Encyclopedia?
There are bits and pieces of data on the Russian Internet, but I was unable to find a complete bio. He would be a great candidate for research.

Re: Anyone with a Soviet Military Encyclopedia?
Thanks very much, Alexei. Yup I've also found some interesting bits here and there, in addition to the GPW-1 citation Alex found on podvignaroda.ru there's a spravka signed by Brejdo from 24.6.1941(!) there.
One interesting tool for researching biographies today is the Google Books site. Check out анатолий ерухимович брейдо - Google Book Search as well as Кременчуг брейдо - Google Book Search --some really interesting results. I've bought the Znamenitiye Yevreii book to surprise my father, he'll be very happy to read about his uncle whom he remembers so fondly. George Last edited by Pobeda45; 12-19-2010 at 11:28 PM. |

Re: Anyone with a Soviet Military Encyclopedia?
I have a copy of the Voenniy Encyclopedicheskiy Slovar (Moscow Military Editions 1986 - almost 900 pages) and I tought he would be included in it, but unfortunately, he is not part of it. :(

Awardings - Bohdan Khmelnitsky 1st class - 29.6.1945 - Order of Lenin 39864 30 April 1945 He apparently also has at least three orders of the 2nd class + others Alexscl: Thank you so much for that website (podvignaroda).
