I'm trying to imagine capturing an armored car while on horseback... didn't work too well for the Poles in 1939!

On the Orders Book and his ARC, last name is spelled "Degtyar," while everywhere else it is "Dikhtyar."

This is quite a bunch orf real COMBAT multiple-valor awards "other ranks" groups you've posted today, Ed!

I think the Russians just had a lot of trouble figuring out the Ukranian name of this pony boy.

What would it be in Ukranian??
