$3,700.00 |
Nakhimov Medal, Var. 1 (with engraved serial number),
#1237, with a document, awarded in January 1945 to a
Naval Infantry Reconnaissance Scout. Serving as a
radio operator with a forward assault group, he showed
outstanding bravery in amphibious landings on German-held
islands in the Baltics, and in particular during the
storming of the Ruhnu Island in the Gulf of Riga. While
disembarking from the ship onto a row boat, his boat
capsized in strong gale in a subzero temperature.
Incredibly, he would not let go of his radio station and
ammunition while clinging to the overturned boat in raging
sea until he was rescued by the other marines. After
reaching the bank, instead of changing his ice-covered
clothes or trying to dry up, he immediately deployed the
radio station and established radio link with the ships
supporting the operation off shore. During the war, this
heroic sailor of Soviet Naval Spetsnaz earned two other
decorations for similar kind of seaborne assaults, as well
as Badge of Excellent Radio Operator. His award
commendations (copies of which are included) are among the
best we have seen for a naval infantryman. The medal is in
very fine to excellent condition.
