It happened on the banks of the Spree in the suburb of Karlshorst, seven hundred meters south of the power station and the boat station on the highway.
In order to drag a comrade wounded into both legs through a smooth and machine-gunned road, a person of a large, noble heart was needed. Moreover, the wounded man was threatened with death at the stake of firewood set on fire by shells. And, despising the danger, Magomed reached the friend, put it on himself, brought him to the road, got into hand-to-hand fighting, killed two and wounded one German, raised his comrade again and ran with him across the road. The line from the machine gun finished off the wounded man, interrupted both legs of Magomed, in addition, five bullets pierced the stomach and lungs. Only seven wounds. He felt very unimportant, but he behaved well, joked, laughed ...
Before the fatal wound, the senior sergeant Magomayev managed to track the location of his firing point of the machine gun firing at him from his machine gun, thereby contributing to its destruction.
