"The brochure you bought was from a veteran tank crew, Turov Georgie Alexandrovich (Туров Георгий Александрович). He began his service on the T-60 and finished on the ISU-122. Personally, I haven't heard any stories from him, unfortunately he died long ago. But I know the biography during the war. He has received several awards and I have electronic copies of the award documents. It is known that in 1943 he served in the 50th Tank Brigade on a T-60 tank. In the battle for the village of Tikhonovka, his tank destroyed a German Panzer IV tank and up to 30 soldiers and officers. After how their tank was knocked out, Turov guarded the tank for 24 hours so that the Germans did not get it. For this he received a medal "For Military Merit". Since April 1944, Turov has been retraining as commander of the ISU-122. And from October 1944 he entered service in the 25th heavy self-propelled artillery regiment of the Polish Army. On April 16, 1945, Turov, while breaking through the defenses on the Vistula River, destroyed 4 bunkers, an anti-tank gun and 2 machine-gun crews. On April 24, 1945, at the time of heavy fighting, Turov destroyed a heavy tank, 2 anti-tank guns, a group of scouts and up to an infantry company. In this battle, the enemy set fire to Turov's ISU-122, but was put out in time and was soon able to continue the battle. And already on April 26, 1945, the ISU-122 destroyed a light tank, a mortar and up to 50 soldiers. For these battles Turov received the Order of the Patriotic War of the 1st degree. September 25, 1945 - demobilized The brochure was a set of documents for soldiers of the Red Army. There was a book of the Red Army, a military ID, 2 brochures of 1942 about Soviet tanks and about German ones, as well as a magazine of the armored and mechanized troops of the Red Army for January 1945."

「あなたが購入したリーフレットは、退役戦車兵のトゥーロフ・ゲオルギ・アレクサンドロビッチ氏が所有していたものです。彼の初搭乗はT-60で、ISU-122で戦役を終えました。個人的に彼とは直接会話したことはなく、残念ながら彼は随分前に亡くなっています。 しかし戦時中の伝記は知っています。彼はいくつかの勲章を授与されていて、私はその授与章の電子コピーを持っています。1943年に第50戦車旅団でT-60戦車に搭乗していたことが知られています。ティホノフカ村の戦いで、彼の戦車はドイツ軍のIV号戦車と30人もの兵士や将校を撃破しました。戦車が破壊された後、トゥーロフはドイツ軍に奪われないように24時間戦車を守り抜きました。その結果、彼は「軍事功労賞」の勲章が授与されました。1944年4月から、トゥーロフはISU-122の戦車長として再教育を受けました。そして1944年10月からはポーランド軍の第25重自走砲連隊と従軍しました。1945年4月16日、トゥーロフはヴィスワ川の防衛線を突破する際に、4基のバンカー、対戦車砲、2つの機関銃部隊を撃破しました。1945年4月24日、激戦の中、重戦車1両、対戦車砲2門、偵察隊1グループ、歩兵中隊を撃破しました。この戦闘で敵はトゥーロフのISU-122を攻撃しましたが、炎上する間一髪で消し止めて、すぐに戦闘を続行させました。そして1945年4月26日、ISU-122は軽戦車1台、迫撃砲1門、兵士50人を撃破していす。これらの戦闘により、トゥーロフは第1級愛国戦争勲章を受章しました。1945年9月25日 復員 リーフレットは赤軍の兵士のための書類一式でした。赤軍の本、軍人証、ソ連戦車とドイツ戦車に関する1942年の2つのリーフレット、1945年1月の赤軍の装甲・機械化部隊の冊子がありました。」

The brochure was published by Воениздат НКО СССР (Voenizdat) in Moscow on 1942, authorised by Red Army.

Ten German AFVs ,Panzer IV, Panzer III, Panzer II, Panzer I, Stug III, Panzer 38(t), Somua S35, Sd.Kfz 221 and Sd.Kfz 222, are printed on the both sides, and the Soviet soldiers might have learned their weak points by using the red colored marks.
