Matrena Semyonovna Nazdracheva, née Necheporchukova (Russian: Матрёна Семёновна Нечепорчукова; 3 April 1924 – 22 March 2017) was a combat medic in Red Army who rescued 250 wounded soldiers and officers during World War II.
[1][2] Necheporchukova managed to join the Communist Party and enlist in the Red Army as a medic in 1943 shortly after German forces were expelled from her hometown.
After the river crossing she carried the wounded from battle to rafts despite heavy presence of enemy mortar fire, artillery, shelling, and bombing attacks.
[2] During the Vistula-Oder offensive in January 1945, she stayed in Radom behind the rest of the unit with several other medics to look after roughly thirty wounded soldiers while waiting for ambulances to pick them up.
On 18 January a group of Wehrmacht soldiers that ran past Soviet lines raided the shelter where the injured were staying, but she and the other medics managed to repel the attack.
