III. Brief description of personal feat

Comrade ZHURAVLEV works as a driver of a radio transmitter vehicle; for the period of the Corps’ military operation he demonstrated himself as a brave and courageous skillful soldier. On April 19th, 1945 during an attack of the enemy’s Air forces on the village KAZER’, the storage facility where an armored car was located ignited from the direct hit of a bomb. Comrade ZHURAVLEV, despite the extreme conditions, drove the vehicle out of the storage, thus saving the radio station and providing the command of the troops with the radio.

While returning from the combat mission, Comrade ZHURAVLEV encountered a group of Germans and during the uneven battle his vehicle was hit.

Under the fire of enemy submachine guns, Comrade ZHURAVLEV repaired the car and delivered the radio to its place undamaged.

For the manifested courage and bravery in the battles with German Invaders, Comrade ZHURAVLEV DESERVES THE GOVERNAMENTAL AWARD, ORDER of the “RED STAR”.
