This forum seems a bit quiet so I’ll just add some interesting awards from my collection

This one was awarded to Zapesochny Nikifor Jakovlevich. A participant of the landing operation in Eltigen. While the landing was at first, a success, the landing in Eltigen was annihilated and many including Zapesochny were taken prisoner. 
 

“Comrade Zapesochny took part in the landing operation for the liberation of the Kerch peninsula. Landed in the night of November 1 in the Eltigen area. Direct fire from his cannon annihilated more than 15 German soldiers, 3 enemy firing points and 2 vehicles with cargo.”
