Well I managed to find out more details on one of the tank commanders mentioned earlier to have distinguished themselves in November 1942 and won the 3级米哈伊英勇勋章(Mihai Viteazul Order 3rd class).

Slt. (2nd lt.) Gheorghe Budu was born on 24 november 1916 in 福克沙尼(Focsani). During 1942, he was the commander of a medium tank platoon. On 20 november, during the fights at Winterlager farm, he destroyed two T-34s and four AT guns. Several days later, at Donchinsky he destroyed the enemy forces that were preventing the 1st Battalion to advance further. He took part in the attack at resistance point 302 (south of Chernichevskaya), taking out several mortars and two AT guns. At Valamov, with two tanks, he helped a German Panzergrenadier unit break out of the encirclement.

In 1941 he was serving in the 1st Tank Regiment, as the commander of the regiment's AA Company, consisting of two platoons equipped with 20 mm Gustloff AA guns. During the fighting in July and August, his men have claimed 12 aircraft shot down (8 bombers and 4 fighters).
