slava1stclass Posted July 29, 2014 Author Posted July 29, 2014 Gents, An absolutely amazing story here. I. S. Lazarenko - Full Cavalier during WWI and later a Maj Gen and HSU during the GPW. Sentenced to death by firing squad for his division's (42nd Rifle Division) failure to defend/hold the Brest Fortress as the Wehrmacht launched its June 22, 1941 surprise attack on the Soviet Union. His death sentence was then commuted to 10 years imprisonment in a penal camp. In 1942, however, as the Soviets desperately tried to bolster their defenses against the German onslaught, Voroshilov arranged to have Lazarenko transferred to a penal battalion in the rank of private. Lazarenko acquitted himself exceptionally well in combat. In October 1943, then General of the Army Rokossovskiy was instrumental in reversing Lazarenko's conviction although he was not officially rehabilitated. In 1944, Lazarenko was reinstated as a Maj Gen and given a division command. He was KIA on 25 July 1944 during the liberation of Mogilyov in Belarus and posthumously awarded the HSU title within a month of his death. Quite a story indeed. Regards, slava1stclass
