Short excerpt of his feats:
During the battalion’s fighting to break through the enemy’s defenses in the Stopnitsa / Poland / 12.1.1945 area and further pursuit of the enemy to the German city – SLAU, comrade Momot, working as a chauffeur for a type “A” repair flyer, provided repairs to the control system directly at the initial positions, and sometimes on the battlefield.
Comrade Momot, boldly and skillfully applying to the terrain, under the influence of enemy fire, brought his repair flyer directly to the place of repair, the result of which was an accelerated repair of self-propelled installations.
