Re: Lt Georgiy Pavlovich Churakov, 812 IAP, KIA 19 September 1943

Thanks, Nokose

When you speak of OBD do you mean the website http://www.obd-memorial.ru/html/index.html ? I find two documents for this man and can't see the death place in them... but my Russian is not good at all, so...

Myself I thought the location should be around this one:
http://www.maplandia.com/ukraine/donetska/pokrovskoye/
And in the same Ukrainian "province", there are 7 Andreyevka:

But you are right that the location should be more west, if it was on the front then. I was abused by the text saying it fought in September 1943 in Donbass... actually Donbass area was liberated in early September 1943.

In Zaporozhye area, the same site finds four Andreyevka

but only one Novoandreeka ("ukrainised" in Novoandriyivka)
http://www.maplandia.com/ukraine/zap...ovoandriyivka/

I think this is probably the right place.
