"Guess who ?" quiz

[Al-muell]

That's right!
Unless I am mistaken (am I?), it's now Your turn to ask.

[Soviet]

It would be interesting not only to have the name of the person, but some information about him. I guess this is part of the game, learning at the same time!

Dolf and Al-muell, thanks for your cheers. Soviet, unfortunately I don't know much about this man.

For the next quiz candidate, I chose a war hero whose deed is little known in the United States. Hopefully, as a result of this game more people will know about him and what he did. Also, it will be interesting for collectors to learn how this man's feat is reflected on one Soviet medal.
