Krapivin Semyon Mikhailovich
Rank: Red Army soldier. Branch of the service: Ground Forces, Air Force (except naval aviation), coastal service, NKVD troops, border troops. Division: 378th Infantry Novgorod Red Banner Division. 03/20/1942 Krapivin Semyon Mikhailovich was drafted by the Maslyansky Military Commissariat of the Omsk region of the Maslyansky district. But he does not go to the front, but to the so-called "labor army" in Omsk. ... Conditions in the "labor army" were inhuman. Hard physical work of loading and unloading trains, terrible food and damp, cold barracks, in which the hair froze to the pillow overnight. All these factors influenced the fact that after 1.5 months Semyon Krapivin wrote a statement that he would be taken to the front as a volunteer. And now my great-grandfather is already a Red Army soldier. He ended up on the Leningrad Front, in the location of the 378th Infantry Division, which had just emerged from the encirclement in the notorious Myasny Bor and was being re-formed. Semyon Mikhailovich gets into a reconnaissance company. And then there was a "school of intelligence officers", where recruits were taught hand-to-hand combat techniques, the German language, and great attention was paid to physical training. And there were in the biography of the great-grandfather and captured "tongues" and reconnaissance in force, and removed under enemy fire mines. With particular excitement I hold in my hands a copy of the Award sheet. "On December 11, 1943, Comrade Krapivin, participating in the reconnaissance for the capture of a control prisoner in the area of the village of Tereim, Novgorod District, Leningrad Region and being in a barrage group, Comrade Krapivin, against enemy fire, made a passage through the enemy's minefield five meters wide, filmed at the same time 8 mines on the left flank of the object of the attack. After that he joined the covering group, where he killed three Germans. For personal courage and courage displayed in the performance of a combat mission, Comrade Krapivin deserves to be awarded the medal "For Courage." 03/06/1944 great-grandfather was seriously wounded, after long-term treatment in the hospital he was discharged and returned home.
