Translation Help - Bill Garvy - 03-20-2015
As if Cyrillic handwriting isn't challenging enough, those abbreviations & acronyms! What I can make out so far is Deputy Chief _____ ____ Communications Red Army, signed by Major-General Troops _____ Strelkov. The stamp seems to indicate Operational-Technical Management GYS of the Red Army. Any help would be appreciated!

Deputy Chief Of The Main Department Of Communications Of The Red Army, Major-General Of Communications Troops Strelkov.
Translation Help - Bill Garvy - 03-26-2015
[SIZE="3"]I need some assistance with some more acronyms, please, one a Capture of Berlin and the other a Liberation of Prague.
On the Berlin dated October 19th, 1945, I can decipher Commander of the 43rd "Кр ПАбр", which, I think, may be a "Red Star" or "Red Banner" brigade designation. It is signed by a Colonel Kabin (?). On the seal I recognize "Суворва", or Surova, in reference, I think, to the Order.
The Prague is dated February 16th, 1946, and I can decipher "Нап. Омр. Кадров ?" in reference to "Personnel", but the signer's name appears indecipherable.
Any assistance would be appreciated! [/SIZE]

The first one is the 43rd Guards Cannon Artillery Brigade (according to the stamp, also awarded the honorific "Odessa" and the Order of Suvorov), signed by the CO, Guards Colonel Kobrin.
The second one is the 7th Tank Division, or in full, "7th Kiev-Berlin Order of Lenin Twice Red Banner Order of Suvorov Guards Tank Division", signed by the chief of the Personnel Section, a Lt.Col.

Hello All,
although my main interest is the medal For The Capture Of Berlin, i recently picked up a small grouping to one guy, who was also awarded an Order of the Red Star. i have managed to find the award entry on Podvignaroda, and have been trying to translate it using a russian character tool and google translate etc, but i'm having trouble with some parts...
Here is a rough english translation it has thrown out:
Sergeant v.m. Yakovenko, engaging in battles to destroy oženiû groups Guard troops South-East of verlina, showed samples of art ojkosti, courage and bravery.
supporting nastulenie rifle parts, accurate calculation of the fire his weapon destroyed: 24 and 25.. 45 in the locality spreenhagen-two machine guns and up to 15 German machine Gunners and faustnikov; 26.4.45 in the vlossin and kol′″ert-two 75 mm. guns, the way-our competitive position and not giving way to move a self-propelled units.
April 30, 1945 in the forests of the North. venediš-′uhgol″c, calculation, where a mechanic-driver was Sergeant Yakovenko has increased its combat account for a self-propelled gun based on t-1:0 "joint but with similar pieces of one of the first advanced to the district venediš-″uhtol′š and soedinils′ with the troops of 1-St Ukrainian front.
i have highlighted the problem parts in blue. i know in the first paragraph it refers to Berlin, not Verlina, as translated.
Does Faustnikov refer to a Panzerfaust?
Can anyone clear up what i think are geographic locations, which are the shown the original scan written in capital letters. i would like to know where he was on the 30th April, and where they advanced to - There is a wooded area to the north of Spreenhagen, or had they advanced further?
One translation website made reference to a "tank chassis" in the last paragraph, does the "T1" refer to a particular type of vehicle?
Many thanks for any help you can give, this is a first for me, and i've got about as far as i can..:)

I respect your perseverance, but I would consider asking an experienced translator to translate the citation. It doesn't cost much and he would be able to fix the remaining errors and clear up contextual ambiguity.

[SIZE="3"]Very, very inexperienced attempt. . . I need the practice, but my esteemed colleague is correct, get more experienced assistance. . .
Sergeant V. M. Yakovenko participated in the battles eliminating groupings of troops south-east of Berlin showing patterns of resistance with bravery and courage.
Supported the attack of the infantry with accurate fire calculations and guns destroyed. On the 24th and 25th of April, 1945, in the vicinity of the village Spreenhagen - two machine guns and 15 German machine gunners and faustnikov (panzerfausts?); April 26th, 1945, in the area Vlossin and Colbert - two 75mm (выгоднме?) self-propelled guns occupied positions and were not allowed to move.
April 30, 1945 in the area of forest north of Venedish-Buchholz calculated where the driver-mechanic Sergeant Yakovenko increased its combat effectiveness through one self-propelled gun on the chassis of the T-1 (tank). Joined up with the infantry units one of the first came to the area Venedish-Buchholz and connect with the troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front.[/SIZE]
