Dantsig, Benjamin

Benjamin Dantsig was a pilot in the Soviet Air Force during WW2. He fought in a number of battles during the war, including the final Soviet attack on Berlin. He also protected the convoy routes through the Arctic. He was shot down several times and was lucky to survive a partial amputation of his leg. We were fortunate to meet him through the efforts of Gennady Vilensky and the Greater Toronto Area Soviet Veterans’ Association.
