Filjachenko, Nikolaj Vasili'evich, Guards Captain, 49th Guards Mortar Regiment

[USSR]

USSR,

I don't see anything here that would link this gentleman to the Navy :confused:

Marc

Well, he was awarded the medals for both the defense of Odessa and of Sevastopol. I know they could have been awarded to ground troops as well, but it makes it more likely I think.

Hi all!

I just received the translation of the research. Many thanks for all suggestions and help!

Now seeing the translation, I understand Marc. How does this group of medals correspond with this uniform? Any help would be welcome!

• On April 22, 1945, near Bigen, the enemy began a counterattack and threatened the right flank of the division. Having received information about the enemy, comrade Filyachenko turned a battery around and moved it to the front line. Despite the front line being under heavy artillery and more fire, comrade Filyachenko managed to discharge a salvo at the counterattacking enemy. The counterattack was thwarted; up to a platoon of Nazis was killed, and six vehicles were destroyed.
• On April 30, 1945, near Berlin, comrade Filyachenko was at an outlook near the front line and noticed that the infantry’s advance was impeded by mortar fire. Comrade Filyachenko left the outlook and joined the infantry, where he discovered the position of the enemy mortar battery. Firing a salvo based on these data, the Soviets were able to destroy the battery.
