Translation Help

[aviator]

I recently signed up with a visualization course at Harvard as part of my M.S.c program. I'd like to do a visualization which shows the German Russian war as I've always had a long interest in the USSR. I have around 1000 photos of various USSR officers. A sample set is enclosed. I'd like to place these photos onto a date and place on a map which shows the soviet/German positions at that time.

Thus I need some help, as my knowledge of the German/Russian conflict is not that detailed, i.e. month to month positions of the troops/ground captured/lost. Is there anywhere I can find such detailed information?

I'd also like to translate the information on the back of many of the photos I have. The problem is I don't speak Russian, so need someone or a number of people, who'd be prepared to translate the backs of the photos. The visualization will go online so everyone will be able to see it.

I will scan the 1000 or so photos I have, which will take me forever with my flatbed scanner. Anyone who has photos and would like to contribute them can also either email me scanned photos, or if they wish, donate photos to the collection by posting them to me.

Please PM me if you'd like to help, or respond to this posting if you'd like to suggest some sources or something that might be useful to cover. Many thanks.

It would be interesting for me. I have some photos of Soviet officers of GPW period with their names. For example, see my post about soviet leutenant with a german name (Alfred Nychke) http://soviet-awards.com/forum/soviet-mi...post235746
And I have also got a unique typesctipt of my grandfather's memoirs that have not been issued anywhere before. I am interested to publish them in future.
