Hero Of The Soviet Union,04762,Scout,176th Guards Rifle Regiment
Among the few complete researches for Heroes of the Soviet Union I have, this one is my favorite! I wanted to share it with you.
Mikhail Terentievich Kharin Guards Private Scout, 176th Guards Rifle Izmailsky Red Banner Regiment, 59th Kramatorskaya Red Banner Order of Suvurov and Bogdan Khmelnitsky Division. HSU #4.762 04.12.1944 December 4, 1944, in operations on seizure of the beachhead on the right bank of the Danube River, Guards Private KHARIN acted as a Hero and a courageous son of our Fatherland. He was the first to get across to the right bank with a small group of soldiers and the first to dash to the enemy ditches shouting "Hurray!". the enemies were pouring drumfire; disregarding possible death, Private KHARIN burst into the enemy ditches and started a hand-to-hand fight against the much more numerous enemy. After killing three Germans with grenades, he began to kill enemy soldiers with the butt and head of his submachine gun. In that fight, Comrade KHARIN killed 14 Germans soldiers and took 8 captives. Carried away in the combat, Guard Private KHARIN did not notice that he had lost his comrades who had gone to the right. Seeing the situation was critical, he managed to keep his head; the Germans began to press hard, but the hero had entrenched himself in the ditches and calmly shot the attacking Germans with a submachine gun. Thus, he had been holding on for over an hour and enduring a tremendous fight until his comrades came to his aid. In the battle to seize the beachhead Private KHARIN killed 25 Germans soldiers. For herosim and composure demonstrated in combat the prospective awardee deserves the title of HERO OF THE SOVIET UNION.
