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..:)
