My Great-Grandfather During World War II. Autumn 1943
My great-grandfather, Andrey Selyaskin, was a sergeant in the 1260th Rifle Regiment of the 380th Rifle Division, and a gunlayer on a 76 mm cannon.
On the 8th of September, the 380th Rifle Division arrived in the area of the town of Kirov of the Kaluga region. It was incorporated into the 50th Army on the Bryansk Front on September 12, 1943.
The division participated in the Bryansk offensive operation. It was the Soviet offensive operation of the Bryansk Front which was carried out between 1st of September and 3rd of October. The task of this operation was liberation of the Bryansk region from Nazi troops.
Battles were very intense. The great-grandfather’s best friend Afanasy Skorik was killed during the fighting in the Bryansk region in September. Andrey Selyaskin was wounded and sent to a hospital.
The 380th Rifle Division entered into Belarus already without my great-grandfather. He was not destined to fight in that division anymore.
