Fadin Mikhail was a driver in the war. How tanker Fadin destroyed an unthinkable amount of German equipment
During the battle in February 1944, during the capture of the village of Dashukovka, the tank crew under the command of Alexander Fadin single-handedly destroyed three tanks, an armored personnel carrier, two mortars with crews, 16 machine-gun points of the enemy, and shot down a German aircraft with a shot from the main gun. About the hero and his feat - our material.
Colonel's watch
Alexander Mikhailovich Fadin was born in 1924 into a simple peasant family. At the time of the outbreak of the war, he was only 16 years old, and he did not belong to the draft, but he wanted to fight passionately, therefore, like many teenagers, he added two years to himself. He was enrolled in the 2nd Gorky Automobile and Motorcycle School, where he soon became one of the best. In August 1942, the school was retrained as a tank school. Naturally, the cadets greeted this change with jubilation - the Soviet T-34 and KV-1 tanks made a rustle at the front, and it was a tempting offer to fight on them.
Fadin himself recalled: "We, the youth, shout:" Hurrah! You will burn in these iron boxes."
The time has come to take exams, the theoretical part and fire training were the most important and decisive among them. You pass both with "good" and here you are - a junior lieutenant, with "excellent" - a whole lieutenant. Alexander passed the theory with "5", but the main difficulties were associated with shooting. The tests took place at the test site. During the exam, a tractor moved a target on a cable - a wooden model of a tank, and the cadets had to hit it from 1500 meters. At the same time, the T-34 with the examinees travels to a certain point, stops for a few seconds and fires a shot, and the fewer seconds the student spent aiming, the better.
During the shooting, Fadin decided not to slow down at all and make a shot right away - an unprecedented thing at that time, especially from such a distance.
“I was allowed to shoot on the move, but the examiner warned: “Keep in mind, if you don’t hit with all three shells, then you won’t get a junior lieutenant, but you will get a senior sergeant” ... As soon as they approached the firing line, the mechanic says: “ Wait, wait, now there will be a "path" (a place to stop and shoot - ed.). And I caught a target, a shot - there is no stern! It was a blast! We returned to the starting point, the colonel runs up, shakes hands, takes off and gives me his watch," he recalled.
Baptism of fire had to wait until June 1943. During the debut, Fadin knocked out the first German Pz-4, and a couple of minutes later a truck with retreating enemy infantry took off.
Fadin's crew brightly showed itself towards the end of the 43rd year, liberating Kyiv. Two T-34s and an ISU-152 self-propelled gun were blocking a strategically important clearing in the forest, when a German "Tiger" unexpectedly stepped on them. A couple of seconds passed, and, flashing, he lit up the moonless night like a hundred torches. A few moments, and the flames cover the next tank with a cross on its side. Both tanks were personally shot down by Fadin. When his car moved forward, it discovered the third victim - a self-propelled artillery mount from the StuG III assault gun class, lurking in the bushes and left without support.

Alexander Mikhailovich accomplished the most important feat in February 1944. Only his tank, with the support of infantry, held back the many times superior enemy forces. However, the word "restrained" does not show how bold and bright that battle was.
The order from the authorities almost single-handedly to hold the approaches to the village caught Fadin by surprise. But there was nowhere to wait for help, and since only his tank was on the move, it means that he had to go on a suicide mission. We loaded two ammunition into the car and set off.
The first problems appeared even before the start of the battle. In front of the village that was to be captured was a deep ravine, the ramp into which gave the tank crazy acceleration. However, this speed was not enough to overcome the obstacle. Several times the T-34 limply rolled back, and then the commander, together with the crew, came up with a solution: firstly, use special attachments for the tracks, and secondly, the movement should go in reverse. Succeeded!
At night, tired and exhausted tankers climbed to the other side of the ravine and found help - 45-50 infantry. Having rested a little, the Red Army went on the attack. They immediately heard the chirping of enemy machine-gun emplacements, and the tank only had time to turn its turret, extinguishing the fascist points fortified in the village with high-explosive shells on the move.
When the first part of the night battle came to an end, Alexander Fadin's T-34 had 16 such points. But out of 50 infantrymen, no more than 20 survived, and German trucks and armored personnel carriers appeared on the road. The situation seemed catastrophic, only luck and the excellent eye of the tank commander radically changed the course of the battle.
At night, fascist cars always moved with their headlights on. So they revealed themselves, but at the same time minimized the loss of cars on the roads broken by slush. This was taken advantage of by a lone Soviet tank. "Splinter, fire!" - and the first truck shattered to smithereens, another shot - the last one blazed.
"The mechanic says to me:" Lieutenant, do not shoot all the cars, you need to collect trophies. discharged a disk from a Degtyarev tank machine gun coaxial with a cannon," the tank hero said.
We had barely dealt with this problem, as two German Pz IVs sneaking around in a neighboring field noticed. Once again - shots at the enemy, and once again - the cars were hit. True, there were just no shells left - about 15 out of 150. A few minutes passed, and a German plane flew over the road with wrecked vans, right above the telegraph poles.
Alexander Mikhailovich recalled: “The plane was cruising along this line and, knowing approximately the distance between the pillars, I calculated its speed. It was small, about 50-60 kilometers per hour. When the plane dropped the load and flew past us, I decided that if he will turn around, I will try to shoot him down. I give the command to Fetisov to unscrew the cap and load it with fragmentation. The plane turns around, I take a lead - a shot. The shell hit him right in the engine, and the plane broke."
This doesn’t happen every day on the battlefield, machine-gun emplacements and armored personnel carriers are commonplace, but to shoot down a plane from a tank?! But that was not all. As if a charmed T-34 notices movement 100 meters away, and randomly fires the last shell in that direction. And now German machine gunners, engulfed in flames, run out from behind a smoke screen, and a terrible explosion rumbles behind them - Fadin's shell set fire to the "Tiger", and the fire blew up the tank's ammunition.
The battle lasted over five hours. At its very end, an enemy shell hit the T-34 hull, killing the loader. The rest of the crew was injured, but held out until help and main forces arrived. For that battle, the entire crew was presented for awards, and Commander Fadin himself - for the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. True, he was not awarded for unknown reasons, and only in 1996 he received the title of Hero of the Russian Federation.

On Sunday, June 22, 1941, I woke up late, around ten o'clock in the morning. After washing my face and having a lazy breakfast of brown bread, washing it down with a mug of tea, I decided to go to my aunt. When I arrived, I saw her crying. After inquiring, he learned that the war had begun and her husband Pavel went to the military enlistment office to sign up as a volunteer in the Red Army. Having hastily said goodbye, I decided not to linger and went to the hostel of the Gorky River School, where I was studying at that time. On the way in the tram, the conversation was about the war, that it would not last long... This text is an introductory piece.

The heroism of Alexander Fadin was shown in resisting the German troops in February 1944. His crew single-handedly dealt with enemy equipment near the village of Dashukovka. It is about his feat that will be discussed.
Colonel's watch
Alexander Mikhailovich Fadin was born in 1924 into a family of simple peasants. When the war began, he was only 16 years old, so he decided to give himself an extra two years to go to fight at the front. The initial place of his service was the 2nd Gorky auto-motorcycle school, but later it changed to a tank school, which the cadets were unheard of happy about. Since it was the Soviet tanks that offered serious resistance to the Nazis.
The youth only rejoiced in the service in the tank troops, but the older people did not understand their glee at all and it was said that they would burn in these iron boxes.
Now everything depended on passing the exams. It was necessary to pass not only theory, but also fire training. At the same time, both standards passed well gave the right to receive the rank of junior lieutenant, and excellent results - lieutenant. Alexander had no problems with theory, but fire training presented minor difficulties, which he coped with in the best possible way. He decided to act in a non-standard way and shot at a moving target on the move, which caused a storm of emotions and delight from the colonel. For excellent results, he received a watch from him.
However, the fighting for Fadin began only in June 1943. His debut was marked by a downed German Pz-4 and an enemy truck.
No man is an island
But the main feat of Alexander Mikhailovich was yet to come. February 1944 - there are many enemy power units around Fadin's tank. But even here he did not hesitate.
Fadin was dumbfounded by the order from above to contain the approaches to the village. But he understood that his life was only in his hands, so he and his crew loaded up with two ammunition and went into battle.
But not everything was so simple in this task. The first obstacle was a huge ravine, but due to the use of the tank's reverse gear, it was overcome.
Then, when the tank entered the village, the crew found many fascist points. But due to the eye of the tank commander and favorable circumstances, they managed to cope with them. Due to accurate fragmentation fires, a column of German trucks was broken.
But perhaps Fadin's most unusual military achievement was the downed plane. This happened very rarely, but Alexander Mikhailovich managed to calculate the approximate speed of the aircraft, and he knocked it out with fragmentation fire.

Fadin Alexander Mikhailovich
(10.10.1924 - 10.11.2011)
Born on October 10, 1924 in the village of Knyazevka, Arzamas district, Nizhny Novgorod region. In 1940 he graduated from an incomplete secondary school and entered the Gorky River College.
With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, having added two years to himself, he came to the draft board as a volunteer and was enrolled in the 2nd Gorky Automobile and Motorcycle School, in the 9th company of the third motorcycle battalion. After an eight-month training course, the third battalion continued training under the program for commanders of automobile platoons.
