RedMaestro Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 CitationThe general gist is the following (I think):Danilov led his machine gun platoon to destroy more than a _____ (?) of the enemy. They destroyed 5 firing positions, 2 ______ (? some sort of armored vehicle), and captured 500 enemy soldiers. Danilov also protected his column from attacking Me 110's by setting up suppressing fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post later.If you have problems reading the documents, I can try photoshopping them to make them a little more legible.Thanks in advance for the help -Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 He was a Senior Leitenant (3 stars)-- "Starshy Leitenant." Can't figure out what SORT of Machine Gun Platoon he commanded. Citation is "company of infantry of the enemy...."With my vision I need daylight to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
