38. Unfadable Act of Courage

Alexander Matrosov was an automatic rifleman who served in the 2nd separate battalion of the 91st Independent Siberian volunteer unit named after J. Stalin of Stalin Siberian Volunteer Rifle Brigade No. 6 of the 22nd Army of Kalininskiy front, eventually he was a member of the Red Army. On the 8th of September 1943 the order of J. Stalin, the USSR People’s Commissar of Defence, gave the name of Matrosov to Guard Rifle Regiment No. 254, he forever entered the list of the 1st troop of this formation. That was the first USSR People’s Commissar of Defence order during the Great Patriotic War entering the Hero to the list forever.

Matrosov died having crept up to the pillbox of the enemy’s machine-gun. This allowed his unit to advance and capture the high ground where the opponent had been standing.

Alexander Matrosov’s act of bravery was for the first time repeated by an officer from Bashkiria named Minnigali Gubaidullin. He commanded a machine-gun platoon of Guard Rifle Regiment No. 309. On the 8th of March 1944 he threw himself on the earth-and-timber emplacement pillbox in the battle of Southern Bug. He was posthumously entitled as a Hero of the Soviet Union.

Throughout the war over 450 soldiers made such an act of courage.
