Bryan Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 (edited) Wow Andrei! I just discovered that thread. Your grandfather was on the Voronezh Front! So I guess he took part in Operation Saturn in December 1942. He may have fought against the 2nd Hungarian Army and then later participated in the capture of Budapest in 1945. This is very interesting!Thanks for sharing one of your most precious group! Edited September 9, 2006 by Soviet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Mondvor,Is it not amazing what you can discover about your own family - parents, grandparents - the things they did not want to talk about, especially The War ... For some reason I feel very touched by this story. Thank you!Sergei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
