Honored Allies Wednesday: Yusif Sadykhov (USSR)

 
 
"Sadykhov fought in the Battle of Berlin. On 26 April, 25 tanks and an infantry battalion attacked the positions of his battery. The German troops attempted to break through the encirclement and reach Baruth. In two hours, the battery reportedly destroyed eight tanks and killed over 200 German soldiers. Sadykhov was seriously wounded in the head but reportedly did not leave the battlefield. On 31 May, he was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union and the Order of Lenin."
 
Another ass-kicking ally,
Brian
