HoS – War Stories #2 – Aleksei Naumov

In January 1943, supplies for the encircled German 6th Army were airlifted to Pitomnik Airfield. To close this passage, Rokossovsky ordered the 91st Tank Brigade to seize the airfield. The 344th Tank Battalion was sent against Bezymyannogo Hill and the Novaya Nadezhda Farm. During five hours of intense fighting on January 21, 1943, Naumov and his crew destroyed five tanks, 24 armored vehicles, 19 artillery pieces and mortars, 15 machine gun nests, and five bunkers.
