Red Banner,109558,Deputy Commissar,936th Rifle Regiment
I have incomplete translations of the research for this award, but here are the basics:
Name: Alexander Vassilievich Shvetsov Rank: Captain Duty Position: Deputy Battalion Commander (Commissar) Captain of 936th Rifles Regiment, 254th Rifles Division Born: 1911 Nationality: Russian Party Membership: Party member since 1939 Education: intermediate Time in Red Army: 1941 Also awarded: OPW2 31.5.44 Defense of Moscow Victory Over Germany Medals. Citation: "While crossing the Dnieper river he showed bravery under intense enemy fire. he crossed the river and counter-attacked enemy tanks, taking out 1 and its crew. During the battle for Svidovsk on November 15, 1943 he and his men were cut off from the rest of their unit. He was brave and resourceful. He fought back repeated counter-attacks and kept his troop's morale high. He broke through the attacking fascists and rejoined his brigade. He killed 10 fascists and despite the fact that he had a concussion, refused to leave the battle. During the battle of Geranitovka on November 17, 1943 under ferocious enemy fire, he did political work with the infantry and made sure they had high moral condition and aroused them to the attack. He was the first into the village and captured 1 enemy officer and 3 soldiers and killed 13 enemy troops. In Tcherkassy, brave Shvetsov held back 4 tank attacks, destroyed 2 cannons with grenades, and killed 16 fascists." |
