Great piece! :thumbsup That is the first citation I recall seeing that specifically identified the enemy unit engaged. I wonder if you could research the German end of the story.

Re: Red Star,213rd Rifle Division,880875
Thank you, gentlemen, and yes, it was the specificity of the German unit being named in the citation that drew me to this researched piece. I also made note of the fact that Sergeant Senchuro was over forty years old when this action took place. . .

Re: Red Star,213rd Rifle Division,880875
Nice citation. I've also got an OPW2 with a citation mentioning the numbers of several German units (a Panzerjägerabteilung, 2 Panzer Divisions, the SS Division Totenkopf, an Infantry Division, and a Motorized Infantry Regiment).
