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 begin and who was the first to meet the treacherously attacking enemy at the borders of our homeland? How many were there, these stood heroes, 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 a 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 Medomer girls. About mothers who sent their husbands and sons to the front
