The Memorial databank is a website of information about those who died
defending Russia during the Great Patriotic War and post-war period. It
was founded by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in 2007.
The website contains up to 17 million digital copies of documents and 20
million personal record of the Red Army losses in the Great Patriotic War.
Access to the records is free and unlimited. Currently, there are the names
of one million war prisoners although German records indicate there were
over 5 million Soviet citizens in captivity. There are over 5 million
records for soldiers who died, went missing or became prisoners of war. The
website does not require registration.
Information includes: full name, birthdate, or birth year, place of birth,
date and place of recruitment, last place of service, military rank and
reason service ended. Records may be saved as .jpg or pdf's. See:
https://obd-memorial.ru/html/about.htm
The database is in Russian and for those of us who are not conversant in
Russian you will need to use a translation service such as google translate
