Can anyone help identify the rank of this Soviet soldier? It is a picture of my uncle before entering Stalingrad, where he died. Not sure if the picture provides enough information to identify his rank.
it looks like Командир батальона (commander of battalion). if you know russian, you can look here.
someone with better knowledge about red army can expand this, or prove me wrong, because i'm not sure about it.
Do you have a name and date of birth? There are some Russian web resources where you can find a lot of data, including rank, death certificate, and any medals and awards. I'd love to help you with this.
