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!

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!

Today is a weekend (finally ), so I've had some free time to make a scans from my other grandpa's old pictures.

This one shows him together with his friend. He is wearing cadet uniform of 1st Kiev Artillery School. Dated October 1946.

This is a group picture of his class in the 1st Kiev Artillery School. My grandfather is standing on the very right side in the second row from the top.

Later picture of my grandfather (taken prior to his retirement from the Army in 1960th).

Andrew,

thanks a lot for posting the photos of your Grandfather. Extremly nice pictures. Do you have anything of his uniforms or the ribbonbar, he wears in the later photo?

Take a look at this research, which Dave posted a while ago.
