Glory III,471225,Gun Aimer,297th Zenit Artillery Regiment,Crimea - ANZAC - 06-17-2007
This Order and research just in to the growing Glory collection:D
Awarded to Corporal Anatoly Borisov, crew member, the 4th battery, the 297 Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment. "On 13 April 1944, in the combats for the Crimea during the close combat, Borisov destroyed 9 enemy soldiers with his personal weapon...."
I'm sure there is more to the story here, so I will look further into it;)
Enjoy:thumbsup

This is a "catch-up" award given by the 1 Belorussian Front in the ruins of Berlin for actions a year earlier.

Thanks Paul:thumbsup
The question is where can you find that it was given by 1 Belorussian Front? Is that who the unit is attached to:confused:

The answer if you have to be real nice to me:).
Actually, the Soviet Order of Battle states the 18 Air Defense Artillery Division was attached to the 1 Belorusian Front at the end of the war.
