Major Markin Nikolay Andreevich, 19.12.1907-10.12.1944.

The Navigator of the aircraft of General Tokarev. He died of poisoning with a methyl mixture on a/f Vaenga-1 (Murmansk region) as part of a group of people (according to memoirs, up to 20 people were poisoned, according to documents, at least three senior officers died in addition to Markin and one chauffeur sailor). Apparently his "suicide under the threat of the NKVD" was mentioned in some sources?

N. A. Markin was released from captivity 14.04.1944 and continued to serve in his regiment, was awarded the medal "for military merit" 03.11.1944. Apparently the threat of his arrest from the category of a legend (or most likely it is the wishes of individual colleagues who blamed him for the death of their commander)

He was awarded the order of the Red Star on 27.08.1945 by order of the 2nd Gw. MTAD named after General Tokarev.

released from captivity on 03.05.1944 and tested in OKR "SMERSh" VVS ChF (if he continued to serve in the same division and was awarded later, then apparently there could not be serious charges and harassment from the NKVD)
