I found this on Podvig.

It seems to tally up, though the rank on the citation, the rank is shown as Krasnoflotsa, i assume the Naval version of Krasnoarmeets?



He appears to have been an Antiaircraft gunner i think?

Thank!

The rank is basically "Red Navy Sailor".

He was head of an anti-aircraft battery. Quite an important job in the navy. Don't want the ship to be sunk....

What do the acroyms мзад квмб stand for?

Minesweeper? Im stumped.

[CtahhR]

Кронштадская военно-морсеая база

[Tommy]

Thanks!

I gues the MZAD is probably something like Naval Anti-Aircraft Division?

[CtahhR]

MZAD is a tough one. It is part of the Anti-Aircraft Defence, as in MZAD PVO.

[Tommy]

I was thinking морской Зенитная артиллерия дивизион.

Bloody acronyms!
