    On that day He and his crew suppressed three enemy firing positions and repelled enemy attacks with their accurate firing. During repetitive counterattacks the mortar ammunition was fully expended, however with accurate submachine gun bursts Comrade Kuznetsov killed ten Hitlerites.

    The Senior Sergeant is a completely different man with the same names. Delete his Glory 3rd awarded per 12.7.44 (Post #3) and his Glory 2nd awarded per 23.12.44 (Post #4) and anything not about PRIVATE Kuznetsov.

    :cheers:
