The Great Patriotic War. Book of memory

The Great Patriotic War left an indelible mark in the life of every Soviet man. But how was that really? How did the war began and who was the first to meet the treacherously attacking enemy at the borders of our homeland? How many were there, these stood heroes to death, and how did their further fate have developed? How did the heroically fighting fighters of the Red Army managed to turn the course of the war, stop the German Wehrmacht, and then go on the offensive and win the war in the capital of the defeated enemy - the city of Berlin? Many books have been written about this: about the great commanders and famous operations, about the famous scouts, pilots and tankers - about the combat feat shown by military personnel on the battlefields.

this book is also about this, but it is about something else. She is about the war of eyewitnesses. About an ordinary warrior, often completely unknown. About women-beads and very young Medomers. About mothers who sent their husbands and sons to the front.

about the only workers of the rear who worked day and night in evacuation. And finally, this book is about the most defenseless - children who have become involuntary participants in these tragic events. Each of them had their own war... The reward sheets, reports-descriptions of exploits are silently witnesses. And the most terrible documents are reports on losses, lists of dead and missing, lists of burials. As well as funerals. Photos, letters, diaries... All this is presented on the pages of this book-certificate about that great, heroic and tragic period in the history of our Fatherland.
