OK, some more pictures.
This is Bedřich "Boris" Kopold, an officer of the 1st Czechoslovak Army Corps in USSR. He was born in 1921 in Ostrava (Mährische Ostrau), Czechoslovakia and in 1939 - as a Jew to - was deported to a labor camp in Nisko, Poland.
He managed to flee to USSR, where he worked two years in various locations as a miner. In 1942, Czechoslovak Battalion was estabilished to fight alongside the Red Army. He joined and went through all campaigns until the very liberation of Czechoslovakia in 1945.
After the Communist Putsch in Czechoslovakia in 1948, although a Communist himself, Kopold was arrested and sent to a forced labor camp for more than five years. He became a professor later.
An interesting fact is that Kopold was a very good friend of Bill Clinton, because Clinton lived at his flat for some time in the 70's. At that time he was just a anonymous student...
I did an interview with Kopold in late 2005, shortly afterwards he passed away.
