On the night of November 7-8, 1942, a group of reconnaissance officers of the 434th Infantry Regiment carried out reconnaissance near the village of Solyanka in order to capture the “language”. A group was discovered near the enemy’s trench and a machine gun was fired at from a bunker. The Red Army Karhanin crept up to the bunker, threw two grenades at him, but the machine gun continued to fire at the scouts.
