Towin (also known in German as Jungplauen) was in Zhitomir province but not 
particular close.  It was about 102 km NW of Zhitomir, or about 34 km 
almost due north of Nowograd Wolynsk (Zwiahel).

Go to http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EART/x-ussr/M35E.html and click on #44 
Yemilchino (= Emilcin).  Enlarge the resulting map if necessary.  Just 
above the junction of horizontal #40 and vertical #40 is a village that 
looks something like CepreeBka.  That is Sergejowka.  Towin was about 1 km 
north of there, just about where horizontal line #42 is.
