Translation Help - Auke - 10-06-2013

You really shouldn't use Google Translate to change Latin into Cyrillic, Google often messes things up. Иван Михайлович Бовкун (Ivan Mikhailovich Bovkun) is somebody else. Have you read my latest post? I posted the link to what seems to be the right guy's Red Star (Иван Максимович Бовкунов). He is in the database.

Ok Auke maybe I shouldn't! Granted I'm no expert, but it was just a query. Yes I've seen your post (thanks). I'm investigating now.....

Google Translate is truly dire for transliteration. Some letters just don't show up at all.

http://Translit.cc is the site for transliteration. It also has a selection of alphabets.

That's a great help...just used it. Thanks CtahhR :thumbsup

Gents,

Kомандир башни т34.

Does this mean turret commander? Gun commander? Comander of a column of T34?

The literal translation of Башни seems to be "tower"

Cheers!

Tom

Turret is the word you're looking for.

Here is a diagram that should help.


командир танка (КТ) — в башне, на сиденье левее орудия, у приборов наводки;
механик-водитель (MB) — в отделении управления;
командир башни (КБ) (заряжающий) — в башне, на сиденье правее орудия;
радист-пулемётчик (РП) — в отделении управления, правее механика-водителя.

Ok...maybe I did. Wasn't sure. Thanks for doing that :)

Here's one that's making things a bit tricky.
This accompanying document omits the recipient's name but does include his signature.

I'm thinking he could be a Kristo Dzhuriev. Certainly looks like Джуриев to me.
