Tirpitz's anchorage at Kaafjord was protected by anti-aircraft batteries and
fighter aircraft. At the time of Operation Tungsten, four batteries of
heavy anti-aircraft guns and seven batteries of light guns were located on
the shore near the battleship. Several anti-aircraft vessels and destroyers
were also usually moored near Tirpitz.[39] The battleship herself was fitted
with 68 anti-aircraft guns.
Tirpitz's crew suffered heavy casualties in the attack. Overall, 122 sailors
died and 316 were wounded; these casualties represented 15 percent of the
battleship's crew. Many of the casualties were anti-aircraft gunners who
were killed or wounded by machine-gun fire from the British fighters. | k**0

16 July 1944 in the sky over the Finnish port of Kotka, which is on the
shores of the Gulf of Finland, Soviet planes appeared - dive bombers,
mastheads, escort fighters. Approximately in 16 hours of 52 minutes, bombs
from Pe-2 Soviet dive bombers moored on the German cruiser Niobe moored in
the port of Kotka.
The operation to destroy the cruiser was carefully planned and conceived
long ago. The Soviet command decided to attack the Niobe as soon as it
received information about its arrival in the port of Kotka. The Niobe, a
German anti-aircraft cruiser, was deployed to the Gulf of Finland to support
German forces operating on the Leningrad track.
Just four years before the events described, “Niobe” was called “
Gelderland”. It was an artillery training ship of the Royal Netherlands
Navy. But when the Netherlands capitulated in 1940, the captured Gelderland
was turned into kriegsmarine and converted into an air defense cruiser. For
the second time, the ship launched the 16 March 1944 of the year, and almost
immediately sent to the Gulf of Finland.
On July 12, 1944, the Niobe was discovered in the port of Kotka, after which
30 Pe-2 dive bombers from the 12th Guards Dive-Bomber Aviation Regiment of
the Red Banner Baltic Fleet made the first attack on the cruiser. But these
attacks were unsuccessful - despite the seventy bombs dropped on the
floating battery, the Niobe was not seriously damaged.
After the first failure, the command of the Baltic Fleet Air Force, led by
Lieutenant General aviation Within three days, Mikhail Ivanovich Samokhin
developed a plan for a new operation. Two shock groups were created. The
first strike group included 22 Pe-2 dive bombers from the 12th Guards Dive-
Bomber Aviation Regiment, divided into 2 groups of 11 aircraft in each. They
were accompanied by 18 Yak-9 fighters. Each bomber was equipped with 2 FAB-
250 bombs.
The second strike group consisted of X-NUMX topmachtov A-4G Havoc 20 th mine
-torpedo aviation regiment and 51 escort fighters Yak-6. On each
topmachtovik was on the 9 bomb FAB-2. The main blow to the German cruiser
should have been dealt with the Pe-100 of the first strike group.
It was Vasily Ivanovich Rakov, Lieutenant Colonel of Aviation, one of the
most famous pilots of the Soviet naval aviation, who was assigned to the
Hero of the Soviet Union as the commander of the first strike group. Such a
choice was not accidental - even the fact that Rakov was a Hero of the
Soviet Union speaks of the professionalism and courage of a military pilot.
The first Gold Star Rakov received in 1940 year - for participation in the
Soviet-Finnish war.
Vasily Ivanovich Rakov was born on February 8 (January 26) on 1909 in St.
Petersburg, but he spent his childhood and youth in the village of Big
Kuznechkovo, now Kuvshinsky District, Tver Region. School, factory school -
the typical path of a simple boy of the Stalin era. In 1928, the 19-year-old
Rakov entered the service in the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army, and in
the 1929 year he graduated from the military theoretical pilot school. In
1931, the city of Rakov graduated from the Sevastopol military school of
naval pilots, after which he was distributed to the 62-th separate air unit
in the Baltic.
At that time, Soviet naval aviation was just developing. The service of sea
pilots was known to the public much less than the affairs of fellow pilots
from the Air Force. And the young Rakov was a reason for pride - he fell
into a small “elite” cohort of sea pilots. After serving five years,
Vasily Rakov went on increasing. He was appointed commander of a squadron of
the 57-th bomber regiment.
When the Soviet-Finnish war broke out in 1939, the regiment in which Vasily
Rakov served was immediately sent to the front. On the very first day of the
war, Rakov's squadron headed for a combat mission. Despite the difficult
weather conditions that severely limited visibility, the Soviet pilots were
able to bomb the airfield of the Finnish Air Force a few kilometers from
Helsinki. The Finnish anti-aircraft artillery could not react in time to the
raid of the Soviet aviation, so the pilots successfully completed the task,
having bombed from 400 meters. Only when the Soviet aircraft turned back,
Finnish anti-aircraft gunners opened fire. But they could not inflict
serious damage to our aircraft - the squadron under the command of Rakov
returned to the airfield without loss.
During one of the sorties, Vasily Rakov’s plane was hit by Finnish anti-
aircraft gunners. At the SB bomber, on which Rakov flew, the left engine
caught fire, but the pilot continued to perform the combat mission, managing
to bomb the positions of the Finnish army and return to the airfield. It
was for this feat in February 1940, the squadron commander Major Vasily
Rakov received the first Golden Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union.

colleagues
How Vasily Rakov was a man and a commander is best shown история with
the bombing of the Finnish port of Turku. During this operation, the
squadron Rakova lost its first bomber, but the crew of the downed aircraft
were able to save. Bombers bombed the target and began to leave the airfield
, but at this time the Finnish fighter "Spitfire" appeared, which hit the
lagging behind plane.
However, the Finnish pilot made a fatal mistake - he developed a very high
speed, as a result of which he was thrown under the machine-gun fire of a
gunner-radio operator of a Soviet bomber. As a result, the Spitfire crashed,
but both engines were out of order on the Soviet plane. The plane began to
decline. Eyewitnesses of the battle - pilots from other aircraft - found the
crew dead or captured, but the squadron commander Vasily Rakov was
convinced that the crew had escaped. And he could insist on conducting a
search and rescue operation.
For more than a day, Soviet pilots searched for missing colleagues. Finally,
the plane was found right on the ice of the Gulf of Finland. The pilot and
gunner-radio operator were injured, but alive. They were evacuated from the
ice, sending a biplane U-2 and a flying boat MBR-2 to the crash site. So the
Soviet pilots were saved thanks to the perseverance and optimism of their
commander Vasily Rakov.
By the time the Great Patriotic War began, 32-year-old Rakov was already an
experienced pilot, a student of the Naval Academy. Naturally, he immediately
began to ask for the front, but he had to wait half a year for graduation
from the academy, until in February 1942, he was appointed commander of the
2-th naval aviation brigade, which was part of the Black Sea Fleet. Then he
headed the Sevastopol Aviation Group, but, despite the high position, he
continued to personally participate in air battles.
After Sevastopol was taken by the Nazis, Rakov was transferred to the Baltic
Fleet. Here he was appointed commander of the 12 Guards pick-up and bomber
aviation regiment, which was part of the 8 th mine-torpedo aviation division
of the Baltic Fleet Air Force. Under his command, Pe-2 bombers bombed
Wehrmacht artillery batteries that bombarded Leningrad. Rakov often used his
plane as an attack aircraft, finishing off the Germans with machine-gun
fire. By July, 1944, the Guard Lt. Col. Vasily Rakov, made 68 sorties.
16 July 1944 Rakov, together with his colleagues bombed the cruiser "Niobe".
As a result of the bombing, the Pe-2 strike group hit the FAB-250 bombs
four times on target. A few more bombs exploded near the floating battery.
Having received heavy damage, the cruiser "Niobe" began to sink with a roll
to the left side.
When A-17G topmasters flew to Niobe in 20 for hours, they found the floating
battery already half-sunken. However, the topmasters dropped six FAB-100
bombs on the Niobe, two of which hit the middle and aft parts of the ship.
On the "Niobe" there were strong explosions, after which the captain ordered
the crew to leave the ship. In 18 hours 40 minutes cruiser sank. The losses
of the Soviet naval aviation as a result of the 8-minute operation amounted
to an 1 aircraft shot down and an 4 aircraft damaged.
Three days later, on July 22, 1944, Lieutenant Colonel Vasily Rakov, for the
skilful leadership of bomber operations during the operation against the
Niobe cruiser, was awarded the high title of Hero of the Soviet Union for
the second time.
Interestingly, until the end of World War II, the Soviet pilots were
convinced that they sank the Finnish battleship of the coastal defense "V&#
228;innemäinen" - one of two similar ships that were in the possession
of the Finnish naval forces. Meanwhile, the sinking of the German cruiser
brought much greater benefit than if the original target, the Finnish
battleship, had been destroyed.
In total, during the years of the Great Patriotic War, Vasily Ivanovich
Rakov happened to make 170 combat missions on the Pe-2 bomber. He
participated in the sinking of 12 ships and ships of the enemy. It is worth
noting that the pilots of the naval bomber aviation risked no less than the
fighter pilots. So, the exit from the dive was very dangerous. The pilots
had to fly the aircraft and at the same time fight off the enemy fighters,
whose pilots knew the difficulty of getting out of the dive and were trying
to trap Soviet bombers just at the exit of the dive.
When Pe-2 was lowered to low altitude for bombing, they became extremely
vulnerable to enemy anti-aircraft artillery fire. Often, Soviet bombers fell
under the fire of anti-aircraft guns of enemy cruisers and destroyers. If
the plane was able to knock out, the pilot jumped with a parachute and fell
into the cold water. In fact, it was one hundred percent death. And in such
difficult conditions, Vasily Ivanovich Rakov, who made 170 combat missions,
still managed to survive. He went through the whole war, made a great
military career, but the most important thing is the coast itself and the
very coast of his subordinates.
In February - August 1945, Vasiliy Rakov served in the Pacific Fleet, where
hostilities against Japan were launched in August. Here he served as
assistant commander of the division of the dive bomber of the Air Force of
the Pacific Fleet.
The service of the personnel naval pilot Vasily Rakov continued after the
war. In 1946-1948 he commanded a division in the Pacific Fleet. In 1946, he
graduated from the Military Academy of the General Staff, and since November
1948, he transferred to teaching at the Naval Academy.
At the Naval Academy Vasily Ivanovich in 1948-1950. He served as Deputy Head
of the Department of Naval Aviation, in 1950-1952. - Deputy Head of the
Department of Air Force Tactics, in 1952-1959. - Head of the Department of
Air Force Tactics, in 1959-1960. - Head of the Department of Naval Aviation,
in 1960-1963. - Head of the Department of Aviation, Air Navigation and
Combat Aviation weapons. In 1963-1970 Vasily Ivanovich headed the department
of aviation equipment and weapons at the command department of the Naval
Academy, in 1970-1971. He served as professor-consultant of the Scientific
Council of the Naval Academy.
In 1958, Vasily Ivanovich was promoted to major general of aviation. In 1967
, he received a doctorate degree in naval sciences, and in 1969, he was
promoted to professor. In the 1971 year, having served for more than twenty
years at the Naval Academy, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, Major General of
Aviation Vasily Rakov went into the reserve.
After the release of the reserve, Vasily Ivanovich continued to live in
Leningrad, was engaged in scientific activities, wrote several books on the
history and tactics of naval aviation. He passed away on December 28 1996 at
the age of 86 years, was buried in the Nikolsky cemetery of the Alexander
Nevsky Monastery.
In St. Petersburg, a bronze bust of the famous Soviet naval pilot, twice
Hero of the Soviet Union, Vasily Ivanovich Rakov, was installed. Today, in
the centenary year of Vasily Ivanovich, it remains only once again to recall
the glorious life path and valiant service of this brave pilot and
commander. | k**0
