On the 23th January, near the village of Lavice of Poznan direction, he was the first to drive into the enemy airfield, has rapidly deployed the gun, and the guncrew managed to destroy 3 aircrafts. He has personally killed 5 enemy soldiers with his own fire-arm. Deserves the goverment's award of the Order of Patriotic War of 2nd degree.
