Re: Glory III,248752,Sapper,8th Guards Independent Air Assault Battalion
That would be "Technicians" rather than Mechanics (first letter is a T).
Ptrukša is at the far east of Slovakia so this is just creeping out of the UkSSR and beyond the borders of the USSR westward. Practice makes perfect. Also you have to be in the right mindset. Often I have translated a piece and then gone back to look at it some weeks or months later just to question myself on just how I ever managed to comprehend any of it... It's a slow but fulfilling process. It doesn't help when someone is scribbling whilst being transported to or from the front. I wonder just how many of these citations were dictated or composed under bombardment.

Not bad Tom, practice makes perfect :thumbsup
A few remarks though if you don't mind: In the West we would say "airborne" рядовой - Private, often used as a synomym of красноармеец This is actually техника, or heavy materiel (tanks and other armored vehicles), which were put across the river (переправлять) |
