Large Certificate for the title of Hero of the Soviet Union,
awarded to a reconnaissance man for extraordinary bravery
shown during the crossing of the Oder River in January 1945.
Being in the first assault group to reach the enemy-held bank
in the face of heavy fire, he stormed a massive pillbox,
single-handedly wiped out its machine gun crew, and then with
just four other scouts repelled 10 German counterattacks
holding the precious position until the arrival of Soviet
reinforcements. In six hours of non-stop action he and his
tiny group killed 110 German soldiers and captured 16 POWs.
The document is in very good condition.
