Diary/notebook of a Junior Lt.

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Guys, here is a small notebook which once belonged to a Junior Lt in an Artillery unit. His name was N. P. Pelyukh. The book has entries made in March1941, before the German invasion. But the book must have been later taken by a German as there are some notes written in German script in the back of the book.

Cheers, Ade.

Interesting, you know why this diary is marked by Germans, because it's a not just a diary, this is the diary which controlled and signatured by his commander... I 'am controlling the guns... I'am controlling the ammo... Controlling the battery how they ready to fire.... how many weapons, and all of that controlled by senior- lieutenant- commander of 3- unit and signatured
Later I can translate if someone wants...
