Post; help me on my family history : General Manfred Stern "K


Hello. My grandmothers uncle was a soviet general sent to aid the international brigade in Spain 1936-39 and went by the pseudonym General Kleber although his real name was General Manfred Stern.
I dont know much about him and i would like to, all i know was that he was rather succesful and defended madrid against falangist attacks succesfuly in 37 but around 39 he was a victim of one of stalins purges.
in addition, i believe he was in action in manchuria not sure though.
thank you for your help! anything is appreciated.
