My Great-Grandfather During World War II. August 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 August, 1944, the 3rd Guards Tank Army participated in the Sandomierz offensive operation. It was the Soviet operation on the 1st Ukrainian Front to capture a bridgehead on the western shore of the Vizsla river. The bridgehead was very important for upcoming offensives.
Between 31st of July and 2nd of August, the army held night ferry crossings of its tanks across the Vizsla.
The army began the offensive in the western direction on August 2.
Between 11th and 13th of August, army units were in active defence in the area of Shidluv and Staszow.
On the 17th of August, the 1st and the 3rd Guards Tank Armies surrounded the Sandomierz enemy group.
On the 30th of August, the army handed over its defensive line to the 13th Army and was put in the reserve of the Supreme High Command.

Wow this is great. Your English is fantastic. I bet he had quite a few good stories to tell. It is sad that very few people from that time are left in this world. Thank you for sharing part of his story!
