Comrade Ovsyukov selected a convenient position for observing the enemy and delivered confident and accurate fire. In this engagement Comrade Ovsyukov suppressed two enemy heavy machineguns and moving into the enemy rear, destroyed an enemy mortar crew of five Germans, thus permitting our units to advance with no further losses.



He is deserving of the Order of Glory II Class.

Re: Bravery Medals,Ukraine,902452 and 2955776

Interesting down grade from a Glory II to a Bravery Medal. Someone didn't think his action was deserving such an award. Though looking at it again I can't see where he was awarded a Glory III??

Re: Bravery Medals,Ukraine,902452 and 2955776

He didnt have a Glory 3 ,I presume they mistakenly thought he did and thats why there was a recommendation for a Glory 2. In the end he didnt even get a Glory 3 ,just a Bravery medal.

But he did end up with a Red Banner and OPW 1 as well as the 2 Bravery medals , so he didnt do too bad :) Just wish I had the RB and OPW1 :(

Red Banner in '44 and OGPW 1 in '45. Might be worth while getting the research on those as well. I have done this a couple of times and it completes the story even though you don't actually have the awards.

Re: Bravery Medals,Ukraine,902452 and 2955776

I think that the Hero of the Soviet Union who countersigned one of the awards is:

HSU Major General KAZARTSEV (Казарцев), Alexander Ignatevich, Commander 126th RD (51st Army, 4th Ukrainian front).
HSU edict 1. 01.11.1943 (medal № 1297).
Born 25.08.1901 and died 16.06.1985.
