More than 25 Jewish officers in the Red Army have been raised to the rank of General during the present Soviet offensive, the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee stated today in releasing a compilation of the Jewish officers and men who have been promoted or decorated for valor.
“The Jewish people, like the other people of the Soviet Union, have advanced to the forefront in this offensive,” the Committee said. “Many courageous Jewish fighters, brilliant commanders and splendid organizers have distinguished themselves on the field of battle.”
