Thanks Desantnik! That is very helpful and enlighting. ;)
My officer was transferred to that otdel on 22 June 1941 and stayed there until 1943... From the wording of the translation, I wrongly understood that being there, he was not involved in any fightings.
But then, I read that he was wounded in the fighting for town of Beliy (near Rzhev) in 1942. Also he got several combat awards during that period. Also, in some citations, it says he was directly involved in the Patriotic War from the beginning... Now, it makes more sense.
