Soviet Penal Unit Penalty Strike Book

***desantnik*** · 07-23-2015, 08:41 AM

I finished a fantastic, first-person narrative of a Soviet penal unit officer and highly recommend the following:

http://www.amazon.com/Penalty-Strike...DW9YVDG1MWJMKQ

It greatly increased my understanding of the policies and employment of these units with frequent mentions of Soviet awards and awardings.

I purchased and enjoyed the eReader version, but will consider purchasing a hardcopy for my library.

I forgot to mention the book describes an incident in which a master sergeant forged a Hero Star in order to get priority in post-war return to get home to his pregnant wife who was expecting their baby.
