Patrick,
My 94 RD soldier also won an award for actions in (18) April 1945. I found a map about the position of 5th Shock Army on April 17. It shows the 26 Rifle Corps division with 94 at north, then 89 just south of it and 266 south of 89. They were still in the same area, just a bit East of Kustrin and Kienitz. After having stayed in same area since Vistula-Oder and for the whole East Pomeranian offensive, they were now starting moving East again on their last rush towards Berlin.
I though you might like to see that Map. It's not very readable, but you might be lucky to find a copy of the book from Tony LeTissier (Zhukov at the Oder). I think it's at page 198. You can get the page from GoogleBooks (as I did) but real book will have better quality map.
