Mavzyutov Gazis Zagrukovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Adelsha Inayatovich Mansyrov was born in 1925, in the village of Akhmetley in the Syzran district of the Simbirsk province (now it is the territory of the Nikolaevsky district of the Ulyanov sk region). The combat biography of Adelsha Inayatovich Mansyrov began in 1942 as he turned 17 years old. But on May 23, 1944, he was transferred to the reserve. At war he was wounded in the left hand and forearm, and was twice in a military hospital. He fought in 227th mortar regiment as a recon and gunner in 1040th Rifle Regiment. _x000D_ The memoirs of the veteran says: “The story happened in the Kalinin region next to the Sokolnikov station. Our Red Army forces were located next to the stream run near by. For many days in a row we had been foghting for the village of Gvozdevka. Just as it it passed into our hands, the next day the enemy recaptured it. During the fighting lull, a chauffeur came up to our combat position and asked for help. Not knowing that the Germans had Gvozdevka, he and a friend drove to the village by car. The Germans knocked out this car, and his friend was seriously wounded. The driver barely escaped. We waited until it got dark and five of decided to take a risk, though our life was hanging on a thread. The enemy settled in the woods. The road to Gvozdevka ran along the edge of the forest. On the other side, a ravine ran parallel to it. We decided to use it to get to the car, but as soon as we opened the door of the wrecked car, a flurry of fire fell upon us. We carried the wounded man out and barely escaped ourselves. When we returned to our location safely, we got it hot and strong from the command for alarming the enemy. _x000D_ Another time, I can’t forgive myself for the mistake that caused me to be wounded. It happened at an observation post. One of the glasses in the binoculars broke through negligence, and visibility was poor. There was nothing near the post except a dilapidated house. So I decided to watch from the chimney of the house, but I was noticed. And as soon as I entered the house, there was an explosion. I was covered with ground and lost conscious for a day. Shell-shocked, I was sent to the hospital. And I was discharged home from the hospital in the city of Pushkin.»_x000D_ After the end of the war he worked as a sled шт the kolkhoz. He got married and had four children. My grandfather Mavzyutov Gazis Zagrukovich died in 1975.
