research on relatives unit

I've been doing some research on my grandfather's cousin and got some information from Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge e.V. - Arbeit für den Frieden
Could someone tell me about his unit?
2./I.R. 122
Erkennungsmarke -49-Stb.I./I.R.122
He was killed 27/7/41 near Kucies. Where is that? A basic Google search did not yield much. I think it is in Moldolva.

Lean times

Just two finds on a recent Normandy trip - close to St Lo, what I assume to be a mortar fuse and an M1 case. The live round was found along with a number of cases closeby some months earlier.

Things have dried up despite my research getting better. Anyone have the best settings for a Minelab Xterra70?

Various Russian made war films to watch for free

Hi Guys, just discovered this site where there are lots of Russian war films to watch for free. Some classics including "Звезда" and "9 Рота". Obviously all are in Russian, but I enjoy watching foreign films to try and improve my language skills, which are somewhat lacking!

Here is an example called:

Лейтенант Суворов (Lieutenant Suvorov)

?????? ????? ????????? ??????? by RussianRemote.com

I have just watched this one and the uniforms, weapons and vehicles are on the whole very good as it was only made this year.

Cheers, Ade.

My Polish Radom

This one is a bit interesting. A late war assembled at Steyr. The grips on it are post war repros. It came with cast aluminum grips, exactly like the early war style only cast aluminum. I couldn't find them in the storage container to post. Sorry.
When I first got it, I assumed it was reblued. But it seems to be the original finish. All matching except an unnumbered mag. Wish I knew the provenece on this one.
