Fragment from the film "Axe".

This passage is based on a true story from World War II.

On July 13, 1941, Private Dmitry Ovcharenko engaged 50 German invaders, killing 23 of them with an ax and grenades.

In July 1941, near the town of Arctic fox, a detachment of three officers and 50 enemy soldiers came across Ovcharenko’s cart and broke through to the rear. The only weapon the soldier had was a Mosin rifle, which was immediately taken away from him.
But the Germans did not pay attention to the ax lying in the cart...

Grabbing an axe, Ovcharenko cut off the officer’s head and threw three grenades at the cars standing nearby. 21 German soldiers were killed and the rest fled in panic. Ovcharenko pursued the wounded officer with an ax in his hands, caught him and also cut off his head.
