Hello, I have a few documents, including this "Capture of Berlin" to an individual. I'm trying to translate his name and possibly his unit. Thanks in advance for any help.
Red Army Soldier Nikolaj Kirillovich Chalov. Field Unit 64183. He was awarded a Medal "For Bravery" for killing 12 Germans whilst crossing the Oder (as well as doing his assigned tasks) as a Radioist of the 2nd Section, 786th Light Artillery Regiment, 12th Artillery Division Of The Reserve Of The High Command, 1st Belorussian Front.
I just received Gratitude documents to a Guardsman. I cannot make out his name. I believe the first is for Berlin, the second mentions Lodz, I'm not sure about the third one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Bilchenko Ivan Pavlovich, I think.
The first one is indeed for Berlin, the other two are too small for me to make out the city names. Could You post a better scan?
