[edit] removing a section

I'm removing the section about Jewish soldiers, for a couple of reasons. First, the reference seems likely to be bogus, its only one person who is brining this up, rather then some large organization or veterans group. Second the story is almost certainly made up, as the section said, the Order of Bogdan Khmelnitsy was only created nearly 2 years after the battle in question. Lastly, this is one of the foremost awards in the Soviet Union and now in Ukraine, if something like this is to be added there needs to be a lot of good references that a controversy actually exists.Sotnik (talk) 15:14, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
