Re: Senior Sailor Anatoly Aleksandrovich Shelepin
Other examples of the stamp really don't help.

Re: Senior Sailor Anatoly Aleksandrovich Shelepin
84th Small-Caliber Antiaircraft Battalion (divizion, not divizia) I'd say.

Re: Senior Sailor Anatoly Aleksandrovich Shelepin
For Z in this case would be Zenith?
Small-Calibre Zenith Artillery Battery? (This is where "Division" means a sub-section). So the "division" of the forces at Kronstadt used for anti-aircraft defence rather than a "Division" of an Army.

Re: Senior Sailor Anatoly Aleksandrovich Shelepin
The ZA is Зенитная артиллерия, meaning antiaircraft artillery.
If I understand correctly. Last edited by Tommy; 02-24-2014 at 04:56 AM. |

Re: Senior Sailor Anatoly Aleksandrovich Shelepin
Here is an example of just what the "small" Calibre Zenith Artillery will be. This picture was taken in Kronstadt in 1941 so he may be in the photograph or have used this weapon.
I have a 37mm case from 1943 which looks to be the calibre in use here. Certainly effective at close to medium range.

Re: Senior Sailor Anatoly Aleksandrovich Shelepin
Nice picture.
Exciting that he could have fired that particular weapon. They probably had a fair few though! I wounder what gun they captured? Last edited by Tommy; 02-24-2014 at 08:13 AM. |
