HSU Colonel-General Proshliakov

Can someone who has the HSU Books look up this Colonel-General of Engineering (later a Marshal of Engineering), Proshliakov (Proshlyakov)...I think he was made a HSU in 1945, but am not sure. I am looking for the date he was made a HSU and why (though I think it might be a generalized reason, though it might be for leading the crossing of the Dnieper?)
Thanks!
DougD

Re: HSU Colonel-General Proshliakov

The title was awarded on 29 May 1945 "for succesfull decision-making in the missions of the front's engineer troops in the Vistula-Oder and Berlin operations". My Russian to Dutch to English translation might be a little rusty though.

Sorry for the dark pic, taken with artificial lighting.
