To all:

For those of you with a command of Russian, these are must reads. The first is for a HSU who was awarded the title while serving his criminal sentence in a STRAFBAT during the VOV. The second is to a HSU who was awarded the title for service as a MIG pilot during the Korean War during which time he shot down a good number of U.S. jets.

Amazing, but not unique. Vladimir Karpov is also an ex-Shtrafbat.

This site has a Russian to English translator button..on the left in the navigation menu. The translation is a little choppy, but you will be able to decipher it.

I wonder if any of you with the HSU books could tell me why Colonel-General of Naval Aviation Samokhin, Head of the Baltic Fleet air arm, was made an HSU in 1945. I have one of his tunics coming in, so it would be a great help. Thanks!

Cheers.
