OGIII to machine gunner and ex-POW
Hello! Here is the OGIII, which I acquired in London this Christmas. Please meet machine gunner Jr. Sergeant Andrey Gerasimovich ASAULENKO, 1913. From Spring 1944 he served at MG company of 1042 rifle regiment, 295 rifle division, 32 rifle corps. Awarded Bravery Medal in September 1944 and OGIII in March 1945. Wounded twice in 1945: lightly in January, and severely in February.
OGIII was awarded for the actions on 29 Jan 1945 and 02 Feb 1945. The later action was assault on the village Warnick, which was located just East to town-fortress Küstrin (today Polish town Kostrzyn nad Odrą). The OGIII citation reads:
"29.01.45 during enemy defence breakthrough on the German-Polish border near village Weitze, comrade ASAULENKO provided fire support to the rifle platoon in breaking through the enemy barbed wire obstacles. Being wounded in the leg, he didn’t leave the battle ground until the village was captured.
02.02.45 in the battle for the village Warnick, comrade ASAULENKO was severely wounded and evacuated to the hospital. He is worthy of order of Glory III class.
Commander of 1042 rifle regiment, Guards Lt-Colonel CHAIKA. 13 March 1945."

Warnick is mark on the Eastern outskirts of Küstrin.
The village Warnick (Warniki in Polish) doesn’t exist today, but became a part of expanded town Kostrzyn. Location: https://goo.gl/maps/63WrsT1pvYA2
An interesting detail is that it appears ASAULENKO was a POW before he service in 1042 rifle regiment. We was liberated on 19 April 1945. His original service is indicated as a Private of 656 artillery regiment, 116 rifle division, 26 army. I think, he was captured in summer 1941 (but needs checking).

1914 Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse 900
Gents,
Here is another lovely Cross that is the only one in my collection stamped: 900. Though without ribbon, this cross stands units own merit. I need the assistance of Greg and Ralph as to whom it was manufactured by. I’m still trying to learn the various traits.
Best wishes for 2018 to you all!
Joel
