My Grandfather Yuri Kheiker was a tank engineer and went from Finland to Stalingrad to Berlin . He had numerous medals and commendations for Heroism in the most brutal battles .
After the war he was instrumental in the development and was a head of Division 6 of the Minsk tractor plant . It was secret military production portion of the otherwise tractor manufacturing facility .
He was a wonderful man.
His wife, Asya was a war doctor , and they met and got married in Berlin right after the fall of Nazi Germany .
Excellent article, thanks. I would also mention the 20,000 to 30,000 Jewish partisans who fought against the Nazis in the Soviet Union.
20-30 thousands in Soviet Union alone.
In Tito's army operating in the Balkans every second partisan was a Jew.
