He was captured by the Nazis in 41 near Vitebsk, in Belor, They offered his son in a trade for the release of a German, A general I think. Stalin always took the stance that if any of his people were captured they were traitors so the trade never took place.
He served as an artillery officer not sure which regiment though.
He died sometime in 1943 while trying to escape the nazi concentration camp of Sachshausen (not sure of spelling)
His brother died in 1962, he was an alchoholic.
