"On 2 October Maharramov and his squad crossed the Dnieper on a reconnaissance mission at Khreshchatyk in Cherkasy Raion. They reportedly located the German firing positions. On 17 October, the
squad reportedly destroyed outposts, attacked the village, where it
blew up an ammunition depot, suppressed artillery and mortar fire of
German positions, destroying a car and killing up to 50 German soldiers.
The squad then reportedly repulsed multiple counterattacks. On 22
February, Maharramov was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union and
the Order of Lenin for his actions."
Another capable ally,
