That doesn't mean he took any particular interest in the eastern front of WW2. Particularly here in Canada where we are very much western front dominated in terms of how we tend to cover that era of history.

I just would assume that he would have studied that area at some point and have been aware

I don't think that's a safe assumption. Political science and history will cover some of the same ground out of necessity, but getting down into the details of unit leader names is a bit out of scope and too in the weeds for a poli-sci major to study unless they took an interest and specifically took a class covering it.
