1918 born Guards Sergeant Sajdahmet Hamitov was KIA on 19th July 1943 at Kobjakovo (Battle Of Kursk).
How his Red Star ended up in Western Prussia is a mystery but here are some hypothesises; #1 Although reported KIA he was actually MIA and returned to fight and die another day (unlikely) #2 Although reported KIA he may have fallen into enemy hands (dead or alive) and his Red Star taken as a trophy by a German who then went on to lose it in Prussia. #3 A Soviet Comrade may have held on to his Red Star as a memento, until he lost it in Prussia. #4 It may have returned to the family, fallen into the wrong hands and ended up being abused and discarded until being unearthed more recently (not likely but not impossible) #5 Something else.

Re: Red Star,0133706,Gun Commander,13th Motorised Brigade,Har'kov-Kursk 1943
As i really want to know the history of soldier and his order i check "Memorial" site. I have found he was killed 19.07 1943. I assume it was during final stage of Kutuzov operation, his Brigade was part of advancing 3th Tank Army (???)
Enclosed documents from "Memorial". I would be gratefull for any clues and additional information. Kind regrds Last edited by godefroy; 03-18-2019 at 11:50 AM. |
