Ukraine date of BIRTH: 09.03.1916 date of DEATH: 12.04.1968 HISTORY: Title: Senior Sergeant Branch of the armed forces: Armored and mechanized troops Division: 25th tank division Prutky (or rather Pru..D..Kiy ) Ivan Ivanovich - (Communist) my maternal grandfather for some reason was conscripted to the front with a changed letter in his last name, which is why we were not immediately able to find his history in the archives. He went through the entire war from the Dnepropetrovsk region to Prague, where he finished his long campaign. My son wrote a short essay about several of his many exploits: My great-grandfather fought in the great Patriotic War, and I can be proud that thanks to the courage and bravery of his and his generation, there is peace on Earth now. My great-grandfather-Prudky Ivan Ivanovich, my grandmother's father, was a special person, correct views, a Communist, and a very cheerful and resourceful person, very fond of accordion. His father (my great-great-grandfather) Ivan Lazarevich was the head of a collective farm in Ukraine, Dnepropetrovsk region, and in his position he was not taken to the front, it was necessary to keep the farm and give bread. And grandfather Ivan himself went to the front on June 22, 1941, as soon as the war was declared from the city of Pavlograd. He served in intelligence on the front line near Belarus. And there were big losses for the enemy, thanks to our intelligence. Once a detachment came to an object right in the forest with a large number of brand-new German tanks they were specially disguised with branches. intelligence reported these tanks to the command and they were destroyed. In 1942, my great-grandfather's life was almost cut short: he was alone in intelligence, wounded in the shoulder blade, an explosive bullet grazed the lung. For two hours, he crawled under the snow, tearing it with his hands, until he got to his territory, after which he lost consciousness and was found by paramedics. After the hospital in Belarus, he was sent back to the front. He took part in the liberation of Poland , the Czech Republic , and the capture of Berlin as part of the tank forces . One early wet foggy morning, so much so that not a single meter of nothing can be seen, the order was received-to take the height. The battle began... and all of a sudden, the commander's car was hit, everyone started braking sharply, panic, and besides, there was still fog, the commander was not there. The Germans immediately sensed something was wrong, and became bolder. And here my great-grandfather jumps out on the front line and with the words "ATTACK!" - rushed along the ground like a bullet, and all the cars, as if on command, rushed into battle, and he led them into a terrible fog, not feeling his feet under him. And the crews of cars had someone to keep the alignment, so they took the set height. Grandfather Ivan was awarded the Order of the red Star, and many, many orders and medals, because he went through the whole war, to Victory, all the way to Berlin. And I can be proud of my ancestors and their good name. Glory to the war heroes!!! The Great-Grandson Of Sergey
