The task of the regiment was to cover the center of the Soviet oil-producing region of Baku and the surrounding fields from air strikes, as well as oil transportation by rail in the Eastern part of Transcaucasia and by the sea in the South-Western part of the Caspia sea. My grandfather returned home with a Victory in May 1945! I have received awards, but there is no complete data yet, because the data has just begun to be declassified. After the War, my grandfather met my grandmother, Alexandra Yakovlevna Krasnoperova (Orlova), a home front worker who was digging trenches at the age of 17. My grandparents lived in Kotovo, Volgograd region. My grandfather worked in the Department of drilling operations in our oil-producing region. He has earned many awards and accolades. Unfortunately, I never saw my grandfather... He died on July 21, 1979, 10 years before I was born. But every year, when I visit my parents, I visit him at the cemetery. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren walk with " him " on Red Square in Moscow in the ranks of the Immortal Regiment. Our grandfather has three children, two grandchildren, and so far four great-grandchildren. And we all know and remember how hard it was for our native man to win for the clear blue sky over the heads of his great-grandchildren. Thank you, grandpa!
