“..When he was born, he announced himself with such a cheerful cry that the parent was frightened: there were German invaders in the village. Kaiser Wilhelm in the eighteenth year seized Ukraine and brought Hetman Skoropadsky to power. The newborn did not know about this, did not understand that in the occupied area the peasant son should behave calmly. The woman in labor was surprised when, after the first cry of her baby, the enthusiastic voices of men, women, and children came from the street. Someone opened the window, and the sounds of song burst into the room. A man with a saber over his shoulder took off his star helmet, shook his forelock and, carefully pressing the tiny creature to his chest, exclaimed:

- Cheer, boy! You were born free!

Tears welled up in the mother's throat. Her heart sank. She was crying and smiling. Under a lucky red star, her Mitya was born.

When he grew up, his father taught him how to use an axe. In the long autumn evenings and in the cold of winter, Dimka heard a lot of stories about the ax.

How three Cossacks cut down a German convoy Germans shouting "Kosaken!" scattered

The commander of the saber squad of the 1st platoon of the 4th squadron of the 45th Guards Don Cossack Cavalry Regiment of the 12th Guards Cavalry Division of the 5th Guards Don Cossack Cavalry Corps, Senior Sergeant Vasily Vasilyevich Ogurtsov can rightly be considered Kozma Kryuchkov of the Second World War. Just like the legendary Cossack Kozma Kryuchkov, Vasily Ogurtsov boldly entered into battle with superior enemy forces and emerged victorious.
Senior Sergeant Ogurtsov accomplished his first major feat on October 12, 1944, when he, together with two ordinary Cossacks, while in the head marching patrol, destroyed an enemy convoy.
The Cossacks noticed a column of 30 trucks and two self-propelled guns. Instead of sending a messenger and waiting for help, the Cossacks suddenly threw grenades at two self-propelled guns, after which they opened fire from their PPSh on vehicles. Germans shouting "Kosaken!" scattered in all directions.
Trying not to let the Germans leave, the Cossacks rushed in pursuit of superior enemy forces. Acting with a sword, Ogurtsov personally cut down eight Fritz, but then, realizing their numerical superiority, the Germans rushed at Ogurtsov and knocked him off his horse. Then Ogurtsov hit one of the Germans with a PPSh butt. The German was killed, but the stock of the machine gun was split in half. Ogurtsov knocked another German to the ground and bit his throat with his teeth. Suddenly, a tank entered the battle, moving at the tail of the column and unnoticed by the Cossacks before. Ogurtsov, throwing a grenade because of a knocked out German self-propelled gun, put the tank out of action. The crew of the Cossacks also completely destroyed. In this battle, 30 trucks with cargo, two self-propelled guns, one tank, eight motorcycles, three guns and more than two thousand shells were taken as trophies.
The second feat was the last for Ogurtsov. December 25, 1944 during the Budapest offensive operation Ogurtsov, in the ranks of his squadron, was one of the first to break into the Kechked station. In the course of a street battle, carried away by the pursuit, Ogurtsov ended up at the location of the Nazis, a horse was killed under him. He continued to destroy the Germans with machine gun fire, and when the cartridges ran out, he hacked four Fritz with a small sapper shovel. In this battle, Ogurtsov was killed by a machine-gun fire from an enemy armored personnel carrier.

Today is another reason to remember the Great Patriotic War! This is the 73rd anniversary of the extraordinary feat of the Red Army soldier Dmitry Ovcharenko. Here listen and see:

Dmitry Romanovich Ovcharenko. The photo was taken for a passport in 1937.

So victory was forged with axes!
And here is a photo of the Hero, which we managed to find from a colleague vladk_o :

The ax is not visible in the photo, but an RGD-33 grenade, some old-fashioned binoculars, a Maximov machine-gun belt, an SVT-40 rifle, and a trophy bayonet-knife, it seems, from a Czech Mauser carbine of the 1924 model, are visible. And behind Ovcharenko, a face peeps out, I would say, typical for Indian chief!
And for the non-believers:

As usual, not only documents are written about heroes, but also prose and poetry. For example:

"Mark Kolosov. People and exploits. 1941.
Poem about an axe.
The Red Army soldier Ovcharenko was carrying cartridges. An ordinary guy from Ukrainian
villages. When he was born, he announced himself with such a cheerful cry that
the mother was frightened. There were German invaders in the village. Kaiser Wilhelm
in the eighteenth year he captured Ukraine and brought the hetman to power
Skoropadsky. The newborn did not know about it, did not understand that in the occupied
locality, the peasant son must behave quietly. (Side note: Ovcharenko was born in 1919, when there were no more Kaiser troops in Ukraine)
The woman in labor was surprised when, after the first cry of her baby from the street
the enthusiastic voices of men, women, and children were heard. Someone dissolved
window, and the sounds of song burst into the upper room.
A man with a saber over his shoulder took off his star helmet, shook his forelock and,
carefully pressing the tiny creature to his chest, he exclaimed:
- Rejoice, lad, you were born free!
Tears welled up in the mother's throat. Her heart sank. She cried and
smiled.
Under a lucky red star, her Mitya was born. When he grew up, father
taught him to wield an axe. On long autumn evenings and in the cold of winter what
only I didn’t hear enough stories about Dimka’s ax. Once the whole village took over
axes. The Kaiser warriors were very annoyed. I remember Dima for the rest of my life
this story is about how the people's anger flared.
- It was such a felling that just hold on! - concluded the father, and his eyes
gleamed mischievously.
When Dmitry Ovcharenko became a Red Army soldier, the Motherland armed him with the most
perfect weapon. He mastered it, but after being wounded, he was temporarily transferred
wagon to the ammunition depot. Then he remembered the axe. Red Army man
always took it with him. There were grenades next to the axe.
And once the ax rescued the wagoner. It was a hot summer day. Southern
the sun was high in the sky. The Red Army soldier was carrying cartridges. There, beyond the edge
forests, far from the regimental rear - the front line. There his comrades are firing
by the enemy. The Red Army soldier knew what power was contained in the boxes, that
lay under a tarpaulin in his wagon. He was all imbued with the feeling
the importance of your business.
The dusty road led to the outskirts of the village. As soon as the wagon driver caught up with
the last hut, as a car appeared from behind a bend in the road. in the body
sat enemy soldiers. The car braked sharply. jumped out of the cab
an officer.
- Ruzki soldier, halt! he barked. - You are surrounded. Hands up!
Ovcharenko raised his hands.
"So that's what they are ..." - flashed through his head, and he was not in his soul
fear. He pretended that he could not recover from confusion, and
it came out of him so naturally that the Nazis laughed.
The officer went to the wagon, lifted the tarpaulin and, bowing his head, stood
look at ammo boxes. Apparently, he was eager to find out what
this Russian bastard is carrying weapons to the front line.
Quickly dodging, Ovcharenko took an ax from the front of the wagon and,
swinging, plunged it into the fascist.
The laughter in the back immediately stopped. Before the Nazis had time to jump off and
rush towards him, as Ovcharenko threw three grenades at them one after another.
Then he busily counted the corpses, took a tablet with
card, pulled out a wallet from the inside pocket of the officer's tunic, and from
gun holster. It took him a little time to collect
captured machine guns and soldier's books. He folded them all neatly into his
wagon and delivered to the battalion commander. He said:
- Thank you, Comrade Ovcharenko! Do you have a request for me?
- Yes, Comrade Captain! - answered the carrier. - Please take me back to
gun platoon. I have long wanted to ask about this, but did not dare: what if you
would you think that I am ashamed of my work as a wagon driver!
If you, the reader, now wish to see Ovcharenko, then, having arrived in
the part where he serves, ask not for the carriage driver, but for the machine gunner Dmitry
Romanovich Ovcharenko. "

"The scorching sun of July...
The wagon is dusty by country road.
Then a crazy bullet suddenly hangs,
Then suddenly the machine gun will rumble!

Waiting for a company of cartridges and bread ...
sixth week of the war.
Above him the darkened sky
And the Germans on the other side!

Roaring around the cars...
Yes, it's going to be a bad day.
Ammunition and mines in the wagon,
Shouts officer-Hende choh!

Well, no, I'm not giving up, vrazhina !!!
I'm ready to fight back...
Suddenly threw grenades at cars,
On the head of the Fritz-axe!

Only shreds fly from cars,
Yes, clods of green grass.
Already the second officer, by the way,
Lost my head!

Cars are burning and smoking...
Motors poking into the grass.
So that's why we got to Berlin
And the enemy did not manage to take Moscow !!!
