Short description of personal combat feat or accomplishment
In fighting against the German invaders from 14.1.45-24.1.45 south of the city of Pilkallen, the village of Duden, Henskishken, Koesen, and Girrenen (Eastern Prussia), Comrade V.T. Muzychenko has proven himself a bold and fearless officer.
He has conducted repair work always under heavy enemy artillery and mortar fire under difficult conditions.
On 14.1.45 during the penetration of the heavily echeloned enemy defensive lines south of Pelkallen while under heavy enemy artillery and small arms fire, Comrade Muzychenko repaired a damaged heavy machinegun under combat conditions and was wounded, but resisting the pain, he finished the repair, thus returning a fixed weapon to the fight. In addition to his main duties, Comrade Muzychenko delivered ammunition directly to front line units while under heavy artillery and mortar fire.
CONCLUSION: For exemplary accomplishment of the Command’s missions in the struggle against the German invaders and for displaying bravery and courage, he is deserving of the Order of the Red Star.
