Short translation of the research:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Participating in the fighting against the German invaders, he proved himself as a brave and determined officer. In the battle for the town Sopron, on the approaches to the Austian capital city of Vienna, and in the fighting on the Vienna streets, he provided the fuel supplies to our tanks.
\nOn multiple occasions, he delivered the fuel directly into the combat formations and was subjected to the enemy fire. Despite the enemy fire, he always ensured the tanks were refueled, which enabled our troops to achieve their combat objectives.
\nFor bravery and courage, he deserves a state award – order “RED STAR”.<\/p>\n

Signed by the commander of 20 Guards “Zaporozhie” tank regiment
\nGuards Major \/LASHIN\/
\n08 May 1945″<\/p>\n
