Re: DKiG awarding.
Nice find, udf_00. The larger village of "Ssloboda" (Sloboda) on the west bank of the river is still there today and makes a handy reference point. Shchekotets (no wonder I couldn't find it - the Germans misspelled it) is on the east side of the river 3.75 km NNE of Parafino and 6 km east of Sloboda. On 9 April 1942, the Russians probably had a supply dump there or perhaps it was a troop assembly point before crossing the river and moving forward toward the front line at Staraya Russa.
