My Great-Grandfather During World War II. April-July 1944 My great-grandfather, Andrey Selyaskin, was a sergeant in the 1381st Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Guards Tank Army on the 1st Ukrainian Front, and a gunlayer on a 76,2 mm cannon. In late March, 1944, the 3rd Guards Tank Army was withdrawn to the rearward on the eastern shore of the Seret river. The army rested and resupplied weapons and military equipment until the 13th July, 1944. The Red Army was preparing for the upcoming offensive in the western direction. The general task of Soviet troops on the 1st Ukrainian Front was to defeat the Lvov and Rawa-Ruska enemy groups. Here is a photo of the 1381st Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment soldiers. The shot was taken in the right-bank Ukrainian SSR in summer, 1944.
