That's quite a lot you're asking. There's researchers here (names and links mentioned several times already) who can do translations/research for a small fee.
His name is Pavel Fedorovich Smus, Ukrainian born on april 14 1917 who ended his military carreer as a captain in 1953. He was active on the Volkhov Front and 1st Ukrainian Front. Was awarded a.o. a OPWI and 2 Red Stars. That should give you a small start, the rest is up to the earlier mentioned researchers/translators. Simply too much info and thus too timeconsuming to do this for free.

Will drink 3 beers to Your health if U advise me "good translator" for hand-written texts

**Marcel Banziger** · 03-29-2023, 02:02 PM

If you wanna put effort in it, use Cyrillic keyboard (several can be found online), type the text and than use online translator. I do this all the time. Others prefer to wait untill everything is provided for free. That is the nature of humans.
But yes, it is possible to do this online, just put some time and effort in it. That's all.

Edit: will post a good link here this evening when I'm back from work.
