Red Star,0065100,Rifle Battalion Commander,285th Rifle Regiment,112th Rifle Division
#6
Interestingly, i found him on obd-memorial.ru he is down as being wounded and evacuated in August 1942. Right between the 2 actions noted in the Red Star citation. He must have left his hospital bed as the city was being surrounded and helped in the cities desperate defense.


He's 21 on the image below.


Because he lived until 1946 at least also, it means that this Red Star got beaten up post-war. Curiouser and curiouser. He must have died before 1985 though as theres no opw2 on the site.

What are your thoughts?
