In September 1944 after protests from several Chechen servicemen of the Red Army in Moscow, Chechens including Visaitov were permitted to return to service in the Red Army. He was assigned as assistant commander of the 23rd Guards Cavalry Regiment, and in December he became commander of the 28th Guards Cavalry Regiment. He participated in the offensives of Mlavsko-Elbingskoy, East Pomeranian, and Berlin. During the Berlin operation his regiment was paired with tank and artillery units, and they broke through enemy lines in Schwedt on 27 April. As they continued to advanced they seized several towns, took out two enemy regiments, seized large amounts of enemy equipment, and liberated three concentration camps. On 2 May they reached the Elbe river, where Visaitov greeted American troops, and he was soon nominated for the title Hero of the Soviet Union. However, because he was Chechen he was only awarded the Order of Lenin at the time.
