Was the senior sergeant Sirotinin? Nikolai Syrotinin Syrotinin Hero Great

On the feat of Nicholas Sirotinin, even today remembers the whole of Belarus. In this country, they did not yet betray the feat of the Soviet people who saved the world from the fascist plague. And as a shame, it must be his native, that in his homeland, in Orel, few people know about this feat.

In 1940, upon reaching 18 years, Nikolai Syrotinin It was called into the Red Army. He fell into the 6th Rifle Division, where by the summer of 1941 he served the position of gunner to the gun. On the first day of the Great Patriotic War at the airline, he received the first wound. Fortunately, it turned out to be easy, so the soldier remained in the ranks.

At this time, the offensive of German troops on the territory of the USSR continued to develop. In particular, the 4th Guderian's Tank Division laid the way to the city of Krichev, which in Belarus. Parts of our 13th Army were forced to retreat before Natios significantly superior to their opponents.

When a waste at one of the plots it was necessary to organize a cover. To do this, it was necessary to create a "tube" on the bridge over the river ogre. Two artilleryrs were required - a gunner and a correctioner. Nikolai Syrotinin volunteered.

His position Kolya equipped near the bridge, right on the hill of the collective farm field. His gun was completely hidden in high rye, while he had seen well as the highway and the bridge.

Early in the morning of July 17, a column of German tanks approached the bridge. When the head car drove into the bridge, the first shot of our gun rang out. He turned out to be very productive - the German tank stopped and smoked. From the next shot fasted a closing armored personnel carrier. The stopped column began to install our artillery, located behind the river, the fire of which directed the correctioner. Subsequently, he was wounded and retreated towards our positions. Syrotinin could do the same, since the task set him was already performed. But he had as many as 60 shells. And he decided to stay!

And at this time, in order to free the road, two tanks began to paint with a head bridge. This simotinin could not allow this. He set up a few tanning shots and complained, thereby plug on the bridge. One of the armored vehicles tried to overcome the River Vyod, but firmly bogged down in a swampy ground. Here she was found another shell of our artilleryman.

Syrotinin all shot and shot, knocking out the tank at the Germans. The column rested into it, as if in the Brest Fortress. After some time, the losses of the Germans have already been calculated by the 11th tanks and 6 armored personnel carriers, more than half of which were in Sirotinin's account. Almost two hours of battle, the Germans could not figure out where they take out such a tanning fire. When they found out and surrounded the position of the hero, there were only three projectiles in the reserve. The offer to surrender was followed by fire from Caraborn.

The last fight was short. The body of Nikolai Sirotinin burned in the same place, on the hillock ...

It should be noted that the heroism of our soldier even appreciated the enemy. In the evening, the Germans gathered near the place where the Soviet gun was. They were not without admiration counted shots and hitting. Then they forced to come to the local inhabitants, in front of whom the German Oberst (Colonel) even performed. He noted that this is how the soldiers must fight, who is entrusted to protect his homeland.

The main task Sergeant Sirotinin fulfilled: the column of tanks was delayed, the 6th rifle division was able to move through the coolant river without loss.
The records of the Fritrich Henfeld Fritrich Hyonfeld Diary are preserved:
"He stood at the gun, he had long shot the column of tanks and infantry, and died. Everyone was surprised by his coupling ... Oberst (Colonel) before the grave said that if all the soldiers of the Fuhrer fought, like this Russian, then the whole world would have won. Three times shot volley from rifles. Still, he is Russian, is it necessary for such a worship? "
Olga Verzhbitskaya, a resident of Sokolnichi village, recalls: "In the afternoon, the Germans gathered at the place where the Sirotinin cannon stood. There were also forced us to come and local residents. I, as knowledgeable German, the main German year of fifty with orders, tall, bald, gray, ordered his speech to local people. He said that Russian very well fought that if the Germans were fought so, they would have come to Moscow for a long time, which the soldiers should defend his homeland - Fathereland ... ".
Residents of the village of Sokolniki and the Germans arranged solemn funerals by Nikolai Sirotinin. German soldiers gave the dead sergeant Military greeting in three shots.
Memory about Nikolae Sirotinin
First, Sergeant Sirotinin buried at the battlefield. Later he was reburied in the fraternal grave in the city of Krichev.
Belarus remembers the feat of the Orlovsky artilleryman. In Krichev, called the street in his honor, established a monument. After the war, employees of the archive of the Soviet Army did a great job to restore the chronicle of events. The feat of Sirotinin was recognized in 1960, but the title of Hero of the Soviet Union was not assigned due to bureaucratic inconsistencies - the Sirotinin family did not have photographs of the son. In 1961, an obelisk with the name of Sirotinina was built on the spot, and put this weapon. On the 20th anniversary of the victory of Sergeant Sirotinin posthumously awarded the Order of the Patriotic War I degree.
In the hometown of Eagle, too, did not forget about the feat of Sirotinin. At the Tekmash plant, a memorial plaque dedicated to Nikolai Sirotinin was established. In 2015, the school number 7 of the city of Orel was assigned the name of Sergeant Sirotinin.

During the Great Patriotic War on the incredible feat of the simple Russian soldier, the sirotinine ring as well as the very hero was known not so much. On the feat of the twenty-year-old artilleryman, perhaps no one would ever know. If not a case.

In the summer of 1942, an officer of the 4th tank division of the Wehrmacht Friedrich Fenfeld died under Tula. Soviet soldiers discovered his diary. From his pages and become known some details of the very last fight of the senior sergeant Sirotinin.

It was the 25th day of the war ...

In the summer of 1941, the 4th Tank Division of the Guderian group was broken up to the Belarusian city of Krichev - one of the most talented German generals. Parts of the 13th Soviet Army were forced to retreat. To cover the waste of the artillery battery of the 55th rifle regiment, the commander left an artillery officer Nicholas Sirotinin with an instrument.

The order was brief: to delay the tank column of the Germans on the bridge over the river ogre, and then, if possible, catch up with their own. Senior Sergeant performed only the first half of the order ...

Syrotinin took a position in the field near the village of Sokolnichi. The gun was toupe in high rye. Near any noticeable reference point for the enemy. But from here, the highway and river were well visible.

On the morning of July 17, a column of 59 tanks and aircraft with infantry seemed on the highway. When the head tank went to the bridge, the first - successful - shot. The second shell of Syrotinin settled the armored personnel carrier in the tail of the column, thereby creating a plug on the road. Nikolai shot and shot, groissing the car for the car.

Syrotinin fought alone, himself and a gunner, and charging. He has 60 shells and a 76-mm gun - a great weapon against tanks. And he decided: to continue the battle until the ammunition is completed.

The fascists in a panic threw up to the ground, not understanding where the shooting was coming from. The guns beat at random, in the squares. After all, the on the eve of their intelligence could not discover the Soviet artillery in the vicinity, and the division was moving without special precautions. The Germans attempted to clear the jam, making a baked tank from the bridge with two other tanks, but they were shot. Armor, who has tried to overcome the River Vyod, bogged down in a swampy coast, where he was destroyed. The Germans did not fail to determine the location of a well-disguised tool; They believed that the battery was behaved with them.

This unique battle lasted a little more than two hours. Crossing was blocked. By the time, the position of Nicholas was discovered, he had only three shells. The offer to surrender Sirotinin responded with refusal and shot from Caraborn to the last. Going to the rear of Sirotinin on the motorcycles, the Germans destroyed a lonely gun with a mortar. In position they found a lonely gun and fighter.

The result of the battle of the senior sergeant Sirotinine against General Guderian is impressive: after the fight on the banks of the river, the Valun Naidennikov residents were missing 11 tanks, 7 armored vehicles, 57 soldiers and officers.

The resistance of the Soviet fighter caused respect for the Nazis. The commander of the tank battalion Colonel Erich Schneider ordered to bury a worthy opponent with the Military Humans.

From the Ober-Lieutenant Diary of the 4th Tank Division of Friedrich Henfeld:

July 17, 1941. Sokolnichi, near Krichev. In the evening buried the unknown Russian soldier. He stood at the gun, he had long shot the column of tanks and infantry, and died. Everyone was surprised by his coupling ... Oberst (Colonel - approx. Editors) Before the grave, he said that if all the soldiers of the Fuhrer fought, like this Russian, then won the whole world. Three times shot volley from rifles. Still, he is Russian, is it necessary such a worship?

From the testimony of Olga Verzhbitsky, a resident of Sokolnichi village:

I, Verzhbitskaya Olga Borisovna, 1889 born, the native of Latvia (Latgali) lived in front of the war in the village of Sokolnichi Krychevsky district along with his sister.

We knew Nikolai Sirotinin with a sister before the day of the battle. He was with us with a comrade, bought milk. Was very polite, always helped older women to get water from the well and in other hard work.

I remember well the evening before the fight. On the log at the gate of the house of Grabski, I saw Nicholas Sirotinin. He sat and thought about something. I was very surprised that everyone leaves, and he sits.

When the battle began, I was not at home yet. I remember how tracing bullets flew. It was about two or three hours. In the afternoon, the Germans gathered at the place where the Sirotinin cannon stood. There were also forced us to come and local residents. I, as knowledgeable German, the main German year of fifty with orders, tall, bald, gray, ordered his speech to local people. He said that Russian very well fought that if the Germans were fought so, they would have come to Moscow for a long time that the soldiers should defend his homeland - Fateland.

Then from the pocket of the gymnasters of our dead soldier got a medallion. I remember firmly that there was written "The City of Eagle", Sirotinin Vladimir (patronymic did not remember) that the name of the street was, as I remember, not Dobrolyubov, but a cargo or breaking, I remember that the house number was from two digits. But to know who this Sirodinin Vladimir is a father, brother, uncle killed or anyone else - we could not.

The German chief chief told me: "Take this document and write my relatives. Let mother know how her son was her son and how he died. " Then the German young young officer standing at the grave of Syrotinine and snatched a piece of paper and a medallion and said something rude.

The Germans gave a volley from the rifles in honor of our soldier and put a cross on the grave, hanged him with a helmet, breaking through the bullet.

I myself saw the body of Nikolai Sirotinin, even when he was lowered in the grave. His face was not in the blood, but the gymnaster on the left side had a big bloody spot, the helmet was broken, a lot of sleeves from shells were circle.

Since our house was not far from the place of battle, next to the road to Sokolnichi, the Germans were standing near us. I heard myself, how long and delightedly talked about the feat of the Russian soldier, counting shots and hitting. Part of the Germans, even after the funeral, they still stood at guns and graves and talked quietly.

February 29, 1960

Entries of telephonist M. I. Grabskaya:

I, Grabskaya Maria Ivanovna, born in 1918, worked as a telephonist in Daewoo 919 in Krichev, lived in the native village of Sokolnichi, three kilometers from the city of Krichev.

I remember the events of July 1941. Approximately a week before the arrival of the Germans in our village there are Soviet artilleryrs. The headquarters of their battery was in our house, the battery commander was the senior lieutenant named Nikolai, his assistant - Lieutenant named Fedya, from the fighters I remember the most all of the Red Armenian Nikolai Sirodinin. The fact is that the senior lieutenant very often caused this fighter and instructed him as the very sensible and experienced that and another task.

It was a little higher than the middle growth, dark-circular hair, face simple, cheerful. When the Sirotinin and Senior Lieutenant Nikolai decided to dig for the locals in the blonde, then I saw him deftly throws the earth, noticed that he could not see from the boss. Nikolay, joking, replied:

"I am a worker from an eagle, and I do not get used to physical work. We, Oryol, we can work. "

Today in the village of Sokolnichi grave, in which the Germans buried Nicholas Sirotinin, no. Three years after the war, his remains were transferred to the place of fraternal burial of Soviet soldiers in Krychev.

Pencil drawing made by memory Sirotinin colleague in the 1990s

Residents of Belarus remember and honor the feat of a brave artilleryman. In Krichev, there is a street of his name, a monument is established. But, despite the fact that the feat of Sirotinin thanks to the efforts of the employees of the archive of the Soviet Army was recognized as early as 1960, the title of Hero of the Soviet Union was not assigned. Having prevented the pain of a ridiculous circumstance: the family of a soldier did not have his photograph. And it is necessary for filing documents for high rank.

Today there is only a pencil sketch made after the war one of his colleagues. In the year of the 20th anniversary of the victory, Senior Sergeant Sirotinin was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War of the first degree. Posthumously. Such is the story.

Memory

In 1948, the remains of Nikolai Sirotinin were reburied in a fraternal grave (according to the certificate of military burial card on the website of the OBD Memorial website - in 1943), on which a monument is established in the form of a sculpture of a soldier who grieves the dead comrades, and on marble boards in the list of buried Surname Sirotinina N. V.

In 1960, Syrotinin was posthumously awarded the Order of the Patriotic War I degree.

In 1961, a monument was delivered at the site of the feat of the highway with the name of the hero, near which the present 76-mm instrument was established on the pedestal. In the city of Krichev, the name of Sirotinina is named Street.

At the Tekmash plant in Orel, a memorial plaque was installed with a brief reference about N. V. Sirotinin.

In the Museum of Combat Fame in High School No. 17 of the Oryol, there are materials on N. V. Sirotinin.

In 2015, the Council of School No. 7 of the city of Eagle requested the name of the Nikolai Sirotinin school. The solemn events attended the sister of Nikolai Taisiya Vladimirovna. The name for the school was chosen by the students themselves based on their search and information work.

When the sister of Nikolai reporters asked a question why Nikolai volunteered to cover the Division's retreat, Taisiya Vladimirovna replied: "My brother could not do otherwise."

The feat of the sirotinin ring is an example of loyalty to the Motherland for all our youth.

The story of Nicolae Sirotinin for the first time became public domain in the distant 1958. Then an unknown librarian of the village of Sokolnichi V. Melnik described a story about the confrontation of an artillery soldier to the enemy tank battalion. Which today remains a bright example of the personal heroism of the Soviet soldier, became the main character of this story.

Nikolai Syrotinin: Data on the fight

In the family of Vladimir Kuzmich Sirotinin and Elena Korneevna Sirotinina on March 7, 1921, a son was born, they were ordered him by Nikolai. The boy's father worked as a driver of a locomotive, the mother was engaged in the economy and brought up children, there were still three other in the family. Family lived in the city of Eagle. After graduating from school, it is known that Nikolai worked at the Tekmash factory. In 1940, he was called to the front. He served ordinary fighter of the Red Army under Polotsk.

Nikolai Sirotinin: Feat

In June 1940, the Belarusian city of Krichev tried to take the 4th in the group of the troops of Heinz Guderian, one of the prominent German military leaders. Separate parts of the 13th Soviet Army were forced to retreat. To cover the column waste, it is necessary to support artillery. The gun remained two-cards of the battery and twenty-year-old, the delicate boy Sirodinin Nikolai Vladimirovich. The gun was hidden on the collective farm field in high rye. The dislocation of the Russians was good, the tool stood on the hill, but did not see their enemy. Overview of the road and bridge across the River River, opened before artilleryrs.

On July 17, 1941, the column went to the highway. The battery commander coordinated the shooting of the guns. The first shot Sergeant Sirotinin brought the first tank on the bridge, the second one landed into the armored personnel carrier the closed column. So a young fighter managed to create a traffic jam. The enemy, in turn, decided that she had a whole battery guns and at least a dozen soldier.

At this time, the adjustment lieutenant was injured and retreated to the rest of the units. Nikolai was supposed to follow the example of his commander, but Syrotinin saw that he still had 60 shells, he stayed to restrain the onslaught of the enemy.

A traffic jam was formed on the bridge, two tanks tried to challenge a swift car, but they were waiting for the same fate. As a result, the Hero Syrotinin brought 11 tanks, 6 armored personnel carriers, 57 people of infantry.

Only two hours later, the enemy command determined where the weapon of Nicholas is. By this time he left three shells. At the end of the battle, the artillerist was shot out of the carbine, but he was not alive, although the German commander offered such an option.

Which entered the history of the Great Patriotic War, was buried as a hero in the village of Sokolnichi by German military. The enemies could not believe long for a long time that only one Russian was opposed.

The story was restored by the notes of General Friedrich Hendlef, commander of the 4th Tank Division. And the fellow villagers of Sokolnichi village heard how a three-year volley was released into the sky.

Fiction or real story?

Nikolai Sirotinin, the feat of which became an example of courage and valid on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War, when the enemy was strong, and the Russian soldier had only a gun, became known on the scale of the country. This story was published by Lew of Kricheva M.F. Melnikov in the magazine "Ogonek" in 1958. Modern researchers decided to track the accuracy of the battle under Sokolnichy and found out that indeed such a defensive operation was conducted and the Soviet troops really managed to delay the enemy on the approaches to the city.

Also today is known for the fact that this feat of the Social Soldier Nikolai Sirotinin was reissued in two years in "Litertark". In this article, the story has covered the facts, and the proprietary equipment has become much more.

In 1987, in the book "She walked our edge of the expensive centuries" The same edge published the story of "Word about the Great Soldier", in which he embarrassed the legend.

Was Nikolai?

Among the researchers of the Soviet period, such inconsistency of facts for some reason did not cause doubts. Modern historians approached the study of this issue in more detail. They found out that this was actually such a soldier Sirotinin Nikolai Vladimirovich, but only he served in another division, which never happened in these territories.

But be that as it may, the battle near the village of Sokolnichi took place. This is a historically reliable fact confirmed by documented.

As for the feat that Syrotinin, a documentary confirmation, except for the notes of Lierada, does not exist. The graves of the Russian Hero Soldier is also not. According to eyewitnesses, she was transferred to another place, and the remains of Nicholas are reburied in a fraternal grave. The title of Hero of the Soviet Union The legendary warrior did not receive due to the lack of the deceased photography. It was posthumously awarded only the Order of the I Went Ithm.

One of the researchers of our time "excavated" a real story about the battle on the Warsaw highway, which took place in those days on the approaches to the city of Krichev. The troops of the Red Army began hastily retreating the coolant river. The 2nd rifle battalion was supposed to cover the soldier under the command of Nikolai Andreevich Kima, Korean by nationality. From the first day of the war, he joined the ranks of the Red Army, took this way to the end and remained alive. This fighters completed the task set before them, detained the enemy and gave the opportunity to Russian soldiers to replicate without significant losses.

"Nikolai Syrotinin. One in the Warrior field. Feat 41st year"

In 2013, a forty-fake film about the heroes of the Great Patriotic War (in particular, the author tried to perpetuate the lonely artillery officer Nikolai Sirotinin), was one of the patriotic channels. As documentary evidence, archival evidence of residents of the village of Sokolnichi were provided. The picture was very instructive, mental and motivating. The author tried to show that his feat, Nikolai Sirotnin committed not because it was fearless, but because of the sense of duty and love for his homeland.

The role of single heroes in the Great Patriotic War

During the Great Patriotic War, there were people whose personal example made it possible to raise the combat spirit of the Russian warrior, who in the first failed years of defeats on the entire front line was very weak. It is thanks to such heroes, let the legendary, the fascist Germany was given. Nikolai Syrotinin is a collective image of a Russian soldier, a hero who is alone can stop the division and overcome the enemy's bare hands.

Such legends are important for education but do not forget about the real people who have committed a real feat. At the price of his lives, they defeated the enemy, gave us the opportunity to us, future generations, live in peacetime and breathe full of breasts.
