Relatives of the Red Army soldier, orderly Timofey Matveevich Nefedov, who was born near Tikhvin, are being searched by search engines to clarify information, the press service of the Podporozhye search detachment “Zveno” reported on May 29, Leningrad region, in the VKontakte social network.
Members of the detachment found the remains of a mounted (unburied) Red Army soldier on May 13, 2024, while conducting search operations near Lake Bolshaya Kuzra in the Podporozhsky district of the Leningrad region. Presumably, the warrior died in April 1942.
Two sapper blades, an iron cup, a 15 kopeck coin from 1936, a gas mask, an unusually large number of buckles for a gas mask bag, scissors and a spoon were found on the fighter. Not a single cartridge was found nearby.
The aluminum spoon was not standard, “stolovskaya 2c”. The strong crust did not allow us to immediately understand whether there was any inscription on the spoon. Upon arriving in the city, after processing the spoon in various solutions, scratched letters appeared under magnification, I could read: “N. TM.”
According to the loss lists of the 272nd Infantry Division, which fought in this area, when searching in different orders, not a single match with such letters was found. There are also no matches on the lists of living fighters. However, the list of 1,061 joint ventures included a fighter with those initials.
“The position is that of a nurse. Here we remember the scissors, the lack of cartridges and a large number of buckles and tensioners. But. Where did she go, what was her battle path, did she die or survive? No data. In general, there is little data on the 272nd Infantry Division.”– informs the press service
In the documents about recruits from Tikhvin, where the 272nd Rifle Division was gathering, there is a soldier with these initials who was recruited by the Red Army in July 1941. He was included in the list “Team 101” of 301 people . It has not yet been possible to find information about where this team went. Taking these documents into account, search engines suggested who the fighter found with the initials “NTM” could be.
Nefedov Timofey Matveevich born in 1895 Documents indicate the place of birth in the Leningrad region, Tikhvin district, Pashsky village, Ratilovo village. The non-partisan Timofey Nefedov did not take the oath at the time of the mobilization; He was called up on June 23, 1941 by the Tikhvin RVK, team number-101, military-private rank, place of service-1061 sp.
“But there are not enough documents to fully confirm it. Anyone who has any information about this person (his relatives) or can share thoughts, versions, please contact the group messages or personally contact the Zveno AP commander Maxim Evdokimov. In private messages or to the phone number 89213966902″the message said.
