Ok, i'll try

First of all: Guard - Гвардия, then: Guard('s) Division - Гвардейская дивизия, guard's capitan - гвардии капитан.
Oficially staff must call each other like 'comrade guard's (rank)', but I've must hardly notice that in unoffical situations soviet soldiers and people hasn't call each other 'comrade' like it always showed in western movies

- there u hear comrade in each sentence, but it is nonsense.

Shame on me, i forget to write a transcription

Yes, Owen, u did great in Russian

)
Then: Guard - Гвардия - Gvardiya.
Guard's Division - Гвардейская дивизия - Gvardeiskaya Diviziya.
Guard's Major - Гвардии майор - Gvardii (end of word pronounced like ee in cheese) Mayor.
Non-existant - what did u mean?

The banner says
CMEPTb - 'Smeyrt" means death.
HEMETCKIM "Nemetskim" means German
3AXBATHIKAM - Zaxvatnikam means invaders ("X" in russian is like the hard "ach" in German)

Sorry but I don't have Russian font installed yet. At least I think thats an "H" (or N in eng.) behind his head.

It means:
Death to the German Invaders

Feel free to correct my Russian! LoL!

U correct at least for 95%

Behind his head letter "Ч" that's translated like "CH"

So its better to show it like this:
"Смерть немецким захватчикам" = "Smert' nemetskim zahvatchikam"

But meaning is correct

Hmmm, I don't know his rank too - to be honest, I forget them

Looks like corporal, he belongs to tank unit.

I think he's a Senior Sergeant.
