And for 213 days kept the Nazis in the main direction to Sevastopol, – said Marina Gavrilenko. Military height 60.0 predominated over the city, so the Nazis made her take a very large value. They are called battery “Fort” – that says a lot. Battery repulsed 15 attacks of the Nazis, shot down 5 planes and 7 tanks, twice caused the fire itself. 13 June 1942 the third battery commander, 22-year-old Ivan Pyanzin fire caused the Soviet batteries on, and the 365-th anti-aircraft battery ceased to exist.
