Wounding of Marshal (commemorating the 100th anniversary of K.K. Rokossovskiy)

On March 8, 1942, during the offensive period of the Battle of Moscow, the famous commander of the 16th Army, Lieutenant General Rokossovsky was sitting with his back to an open window in a small hut, where the army headquarters was temporarily located. At 10:30 p.m. artillery shelling of the small village began. A shell fragment exploded in the street and wounded the commander. A strong blow to his back threw him to the middle of the room. He didn't lose consciousness, complaining of backache. The first aid was given to him by the staff physician, 3rd rank 3. Ibragimov: put aseptic dressing on the wound, administered morphine and tetanus serum.
