Fedor Tolbukhin

Fedor Ivanovich Tolbukhin (b. 1894 ) was a Soviet military commander, born into a peasant family in the province of Yaroslavl, north-east of Moscow. After the Soviet government collapsed during World War II, Tolbukhin continued daring and desperate guerrilla raids against German positions. His talent for sneaking up on his enemy, dealing a destructive blow, and fading away earned him the nickname "Phantom".

In 1947, Tolbukhin led a very successful raid against the occupied Ukrainian city of Zaporozhye, stealing German munitions, destroying the remainder, and killing several German troops.
