He was very busy, but not that busy. The designers have used slightly different naming as one is "Tanaschishin" and the other "Tanaschishin_". So it appears to be deliberate, but I believe it is incorrect. Tanaschishin was the 13TC commander during this period. The 22TC was not even part of the same army and there was no connection to Tanaschishin.

The 22TC commander at this time was Shamshin. Glantz consistently refers to Shamshin being in charge. Perhaps someone else with the same name took temporary command but that is highly improbable.

Unless someone can shed more light on this I will just change the 22TC to Shamshin.
