Description of the advance of the tankers of the 7th Mechanized Corps during the liberation of Czechoslovakia from the pen of the well-known author Petr "Dolin" Dolezal.
With his crew he destroyed in fifty tank attacks 15 tanks and 8 self-propelled guns of the enemy and other enemy equipment. He was wounded four times in combat. On 26 September 1944 he was named Hero of the Soviet Union.
Bacik is trained as a machine gunner. He applies for a transfer to the bomber air force (as a machine gunner), but is not granted. Instead, he is transferred to the paratroopers and becomes a member of the Wolfram group, together with Reznicek, Běrský, Matula and Černota, commanded by Josef Otisk. The fate of the Wolfram group is sufficiently documented and there is no need for me to elaborate. Bačík remains in England and after his recovery is transferred to the tankers, where he eventually becomes an instructor.
The Jawa "Perak" motorcycle is a legendary machine that was of great importance for the then Czechoslovakia and Europe at the time of its creation. Its origin dates back to 1942, when the first prototypes were created in secret.
The last and most widespread version of tanks of serie T-10 had a new stabilized cannon M-62-T2 with more power.
It's hard to write about a machine as good as a T-34. Although it is possible to find some details on the net, they did not satisfy me in many ways. It is very general or non-Czech. I will try to give it to you as I wrote it down in the text.
First shot, hit! Second, hit! The charger loads one grenade after another! The third hit! Charge, the fourth sits! Next, the fifth German tank is on fire! Charge and reload. Hit! Charge. Hit!!!
