Kirche, if you live in Moscow then your Russian language is better than mine as such u can read all facts on Russian Internet . However I don't understand what you are trying to say. Keith stated already he was reprimanded which is totally correct . If you saying his awards were taken back , I am not aware of all that. Sometime after July '44 he was demoted from Major to Captain maybe later even to Starshey Lt and it remained this way till 1945 or later. Then the ranks and titles were reinstated though unlike his other prominent front comrades he ended his career as Brigadier General only . Left shot still Major sometime after July 1944 , middle as St Lt or Captain victory parade 1945 right as Captain sometime 1944/1945
