Re: Bravery Medal,Western Front,106366
Very cool award! Parts of the 33rd Army were surrounded by 4th Panzer Army during the Soviet counteroffensive in front of Moscow. "Exceptionally difficult conditions" is an understatement. The soviets used cavalry, dropped paras, and activated partisan units in the area, so chances are your man fought with all of them. Breaking out in the spring as the lines solidified would be a story in itself. Wonderful award and research!
