By the beginning of June 1941, parts of two small RKKA rifle divisions were placed on the territory of the fortress: the 6th Orlovsk Red Banner and 42nd Rifle and several small units. In total, by the morning of June 22 in the fortress there were about 9,000 people.

The Germans decided in advance that the Brest Fortress, standing at the border from the USSR and therefore, elected as one of the first strike facilities, would have to take only infantry - without tanks. Their use of forests, swamps, river ducts and canals surrounding the fortress prevented them. For the capture of the fortress, German strategists were distinguished by the 45th division (17,000 people) not more than eight hours.

Despite the sudden attack, the garrison gave the Germans a hard rebuff. The report said: "Russians fiercely resist, especially behind our attacking mouth. In the Citadel, the enemy organized defense by infantry parts with the support of 35-40 tanks and armored cars. The fire of Russian snipers led to great losses among officers and nonsense officers.

On June 28, two German tanks and several self-propelled guns returned from repair to the front, continued to fill the East Fort on the North Island. However, this did not bring visible results, and the commander of the 45th division appealed for support for the Luftwaffe.

On June 29 at 8:00, the German bomber dropped a 500-kilogram bomb on the Eastern Fort. Then another 500-kilogram and finally a 1800-kilogram bomb was reset. Fort was practically destroyed.

Nevertheless, in East Fort, a small group of fighters led by Gavrilov continued to fight. Major was captured only on July 23.

Zhenya Tabakov

The tragedy was played by night on November 28, 2008. Zhenya and his twelfth older sister Yana were at home alone. An unknown man called the door, who introduced himself as a postman, who brought the supposedly registered letter.

Yana did not suspect anything wrong and allowed him to go. Entering the apartment and closing the door, the "postman" instead of the letter pulled the knife and, grabbing Jan, began to demand that children gave him all the money and values. Having received the answer from children that they do not know where the money, the criminal demanded from Zhenya to look for them, and he dragged Janu himself in the bathroom, where he began to tear with her clothes. Seeing how he breaks clothes from his sister, Zhenya grabbed the kitchen knife and stuck him in despair to the lower criminal. When painting from pain, he loosened the grip, and the girl managed to run out of the apartment for help. In a rage, a failed rapist, pulling out a knife from himself, began to stall him in a child (on the body of the fiance they counted eight wounds, incompatible with life), after which they ran. However, the wound caused by Zhenya, leaving behind the bloody trail, did not allow him to leave the chase.

Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of January 20, 2009 For the courage and dedication, Yevgeny Evgenievich, manifested in the execution of civil debt, was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage. The Order received Mama Galina Petrovna.

And no one expected that it was these boys and girls who are able to commit a great feat to the glory of freedom and independence of their homeland!

Children remaining in destroyed cities and villages became streetless, doomed to hungry death. It was scary and difficult to stay on the territory occupied by the enemy. Children could send to the concentration camp, to take it to work in Germany, turning into slaves, to make donors for German soldiers, etc.

Here are the names of some of them: Volodya Czazmin, Jura Zhadno, Lenya Golikov, Marat Kazei, Lara Mikheenko, Valya Kitty, Tanya Morozova, Vitya boxes, Zina Portorova. Many of them fought that they have earned the battle orders and medals, and four: Marat Kasey, Valya Kitty, Zina Portnova, Lenya Golikov, became the heroes of the Soviet Union.

From the first days of the occupation of the boy and the girls began to act at their own risk, which was indeed fatal.

"Fedya Samodurov. Fed 14 years, he is a pupil of a motorized rifle part, which commands Guard Captain A. Chernavin. Fedya was selected in his homeland, in the destroyed village of Voronezh region. Together with part, he participated in the battles for Ternopil, the Germans knocked from the city with a machine-gun calculation. When almost the entire calculation died, a teenager, together with the surviving fighter, took over the machine gun, long and stubbornly shooting, delayed the enemy. Fedya was awarded the medal "for the courage".

Vanya Kozlov, 13 years old, He stayed without relatives and for the second year is in the motorized rifle part. At the front, he delivers food, newspapers and letters to fighters in the most difficult conditions.

Petya tooth.No less difficult specialty chose Peter's tooth. He has long decided to become an intelligence. Parents killed him, and he knows how can you settle with the damned German. Together with experienced reconnaissance, it gets to the enemy, reports its location, and artillery for their pointer gives fire, crushing fascists. "(" Arguments and Facts ", №25, 2010, p. 42).

And sixteen-year schoolgirl Olya Demes with his younger sister Lida At the station Orsha in Belarus, on the task of the commander of the partisan brigade, S. Zhulin was exploded using magnetic mines tanks with flammable. Of course, the girls attracted a much less attention to German security and policemen than teenage boys or adult men. But after all, girls fit into the dolls, and they fought with the soldiers of the Wehrmacht!

Thirteen-year-old Lida often took the basket or bag and went on railway tracks to collect coal, producing intelligence on German military echelons. If she was stopped by watch, she explained that he collects coal to pull the room in which the Germans live. Mama Oli and younger sister Lida Fascists grabbed and shot, and Olya continued to fearfully fulfill the tasks of partisans.

For the head of the young partisani Oli Demes Fascists promised a generous award - the land, a cow and 10 thousand stamps. Copies of her photography were distributed and sent to all patrol services, policemen, old builders and secret agents. Seek and deliver it alive - this was the order! But I could not catch the girl. Olga destroyed 20 German soldiers and officers, allowed 7 enemy echelons under Sunshi, conducted intelligence, participated in the "Rail War", in the destruction of German punitive divisions.

Children of the Great Patriotic War

What was with children in this terrible time? During the war?

The guys worked in the factories, factories and industries, putting on the machines instead of the brothers and fathers who went to the front. Children worked on defense enterprises: they made fuses to miners, smeared to manual grenades, smoke checkers, color signal rockets, collected gas masks. Worked in agriculture, grown vegetables for hospitals.

In school sewing workshops, pioneers sewed for the army underwear, gymnasters. Girls knitted warm things for the front: mittens, socks, scarves, sewed brushes for tobacco. The guys helped the wounded in hospitals, wrote a letter to their dictation with their own, put the concerts for the wounded performances, arranged concerts, causing a smile among the exhausted war adult men.

A number of objective reasons: Care of teachers in the army, the evacuation of the population from Western regions to the eastern, inclusion of students in labor in connection with the departure of the Familian feeding war, the transfer of many schools under the hospitals and others, prevented deploying in the USSR during the war of universal seven Training started in the 1930s. In the remaining educational institutions, training was conducted in two or three, and sometimes four shifts.

At the same time, children were forced to store firewood firewood. There were no textbooks, and due to the lack of paper they wrote on old newspapers between the lines. Nevertheless, new schools opened, additional classes were created. For evacuated children, boarding schools were created. For the youth, which at the beginning of the war left the school and was busy in industry or agriculture, in 1943 schools of working and rural youth were organized.

In the chronicles of the Great Patriotic War, there are still many little-known pages, such as the fate of kindergartens. "It turns out that in December 1941 in a deposited Moscow In bomb shelters worked kindergartens. When the enemy was discarded, they resumed their work faster than many universities. By the fall of 1942, 258 kindergartens opened in Moscow!

From memories of Military childhood Lydia Ivanovna Kostyleyova:

"After the death of the grandmother, I was defined for a kindergarten, an older sister at school, mother at work. I went to the kindergarten alone, on the tram, it is in part-time five years. Somehow I was seriously sick, lay at home alone with a high temperature, there was no drugs, it was killed in a rapid pig that runs under the table, but everything went.
My mother saw each other and rare weekends. Children raised the street, we were friendly and forever hungry. From early spring, they ran to Mai, the blessing of the forest and swamps nearby, collected berries, mushrooms, different early grass. Bombings gradually stopped, in our Arkhangelsk the residences of the allies were placed, it brought to life a certain flavor - we, children, sometimes slept warm clothes, some products. Basically, we ate black Shanghi, potatoes, sealing seals, fish and fish oil, on holidays - "Marmalad" from algae, tinted with a swamp. "

More than five hundred educators and nannies in the fall of 1941 digging the trenches on the approaches to the capital. Hundreds worked on logging. Educators, who were still a dance with children, fought in the Moscow militia. Under Mozhaisk heroically, the teacher of Children's Garden of the Baumansky district Natasha Yanovskaya died. Educators remaining with children did not make exploits. They just saved the kids who have fathers fought, and the mother stood at the machines.

Most kindergartens during the war were boarded, the children were there afternoon and night. And in order to feed the children at half ago, protect them from the cold, to give them a drip of comfort, to take them with the benefit for the mind and soul - for such a job there was a huge love for children, deep decency and limitless patience. "(D. Shevarov" World News ", №27, 2010, p. 27).

Children have changed games, appeared "... a new game - to the hospital. The hospital was played before, but not so. Now the wounded for them are real people. But in the war playing less often, because no one wants to be a fascist. This role is Trees are performed. They are shooting with snowballs. We learned how to assist the victims - fallen, bruised. "

From the letter of the boy Frontovik: "We used to play the war before, and now much less often - the war would have been tired, would rather it end so that we would live well ..." (ibid.).

In connection with the death of parents, many street children appeared in the country. The Soviet state, despite the difficult wartime, still fulfilled its obligations to children left without parents. A network of children's receivers and orphanages was organized and opened to combat hopelessness, employment of adolescents was organized.

Many families of Soviet citizens began to take to their orphanswhere they have gained new parents. Unfortunately, not all the educators and leaders of children's institutions were characterized by honesty and decency. Here are some examples.

"In the autumn of 1942, the children who stolen potatoes and grain with collective farms were caught in the Pochinkovsky district of the Gorky region. It turned out that the" harvest was collected "the pupils of the district orphanage. And they did this not from a good life. During further Investigations, local policemen revealed a criminal group, and, in fact, a gang, consisting of employees of this institution.

In total, seven people were arrested in the case, including the director of the orphanage of Novoshelsev, an accountant of the bedrooms, a mostertower of Mukhin and other faces. When searching, 14 children's coats were seized, seven costumes, 30 meters of Sukna, 350 meters of manufacture and other illegally assigned property, with great difficulty allocated by the state in this severe wartime.

The consequence found that by non-idle the relying norm of bread and products, these criminals only during 1942 cleared seven tons of bread, half-tons of meat, 380 kg of sugar, 180 kg of cookies, 106 kg of fish, 121 kg of honey, etc. All these deficient products workers of the orphanage sold on the market or simply ead themselves.

Only one comrade of new settlers daily received on himself and members of his family fifteen servings of breakfasts and dinners. Due to the pupils, the rest of the service personnel was well eaten. Children were fed with "dishes" cooked from the crown and vegetables, referring to a bad supply.

For the whole of 1942, they only once issued on one candy for the 25th anniversary of the October Revolution on one candy ... And what is the most amazing, the director of the orphanage of Novoseltsy in the same 1942 received an honorary diploma for excellent educational work from the People's Commissariat. All these fascists were deservedly sentenced to long-term detention periods. "(Zephyrov M.V., Decalarev D.M." Everything for the front? As the victory was actually a victory, p. 388-391).

At such a time, the whole essence of man appears .. Every day, stand before the choice - how to do .. and the war showed us examples of great mercy, great heroism and great cruelty, great meanness .. We must remember this !! For the future !!

And no time can cure wounds from the war, especially children. "These years, that were once, the bitterness of childhood does not allow ..."

Twelve of several thousand examples of unparalleled baby courage
Young heroes of the Great Patriotic War - how many of them were there? If you count - how else otherwise?! - The hero of every boy and every girl, whom fate led to war and made soldiers, sailors or partisans, are dozens, if not hundreds of thousands.

According to the official data of the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense (TsAMO) of Russia, over 3500 servicemen under the age of 16, during the war in combat versions of the war. At the same time, it is clear that not every commander of the unit, which risked to take the shelf's son to raise the son, found the courage to declare a pupil on the team. Understand how they tried to hide the age of small fighters their fathers-commanders who, and in fact, many were instead of fathers, can be in confidence in premium documents. In the yellowed archival sheets in most minor servicemen are indicated by a clearly overstated age. Real it turned out much later, after ten, and even after forty years.

But there were still children and adolescents who fought in partisan detachments and held in underground organizations! And there were much more there: they sometimes went to the partisans with whole families, and if not, then almost every teenager, which turned out in the occupied land, was for whom to revenge.

So "tens of thousands" - this is not an exaggeration, but rather, the denial. And, apparently, we never know the exact number of young heroes of the Great Patriotic War. But this is not the reason not to remember them.

Burlin boys went to Berlin

The youngest of all famous little soldiers - in any case, according to the documents stored in military archives, can be considered a pupil of the 142nd Guards Rifle Regiment of the 47th Guards Rifle Division Sergey Aleshkin. In archival documents, you can find two certificates of awarding the boy born in 1936 and in the army from September 8, 1942, shortly after the punishers shot his mother and her older brother for contact with the partisans. The first document of April 26, 1943 - about awarding his medal "For military merit" due to the fact that "Tov. Aleshkin Favorites Regiment "" His cheerfulness, love for the part and surrounding in extremely difficult moments he instilled cheerfulness and confidence in victory. " The second, dated November 19, 1945, about awarding the pupils of the Tula Suvorov Military School "For the victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945": In the list of 13 Suvorov, the last name Aleshkina is first.

But still such a young soldier is an exception even for military time and for the country, where all the people rose to the defense of the Motherland, from Mala to Velik. Most young heroes who fought at the front and in the rear of the enemy were on average for 13-14 years. The very first of them were defenders of the Brest Fortress, and one of the sons of the regiment - the Kavaler of the Order of the Red Star, the Order of Glory III degree and the Medal "Overland" Vladimir Tarnovsky, who served in the 370th pillar of the 230th Rifle Division - left his autograph on Reichstag's wall in the victorious May 1945 ...

The most young characters of the Soviet Union

These four names are Lenya Golikov, Marat Kasey, Zina Portorova and Valya Cutch - now over half a century are the most famous symbol of the heroism of young defenders of our Motherland. Fought in different places and those who committed different things in circumstances, all of them were partisans and all posthumously awarded the highest award of the country's title of the Hero of the Soviet Union. Two-Lena Golikov and Zina Portnova - by the time they had a chance to show unprecedented courage, turned to 17 years old, two more - the Vale of the cat and Marat Casey - only 14.

Lenya Golikov was the first of the four who won the highest title: Assignment Decree was signed on April 2, 1944. The text says that the title of Hero of the Soviet Union of Golikov was awarded "for the exemplary fulfillment of command tasks and manifested courage and heroism in battles." And indeed, in less than a year - from March 1942 to January 1943, Golikov managed to participate in the defeat of three enemy garrisons, in the undermining a dozen with excess bridges, in capturing the German Major General with secret documents ... and the heroic to die in Battle under the village of Outrash, without waiting for a high award for the seizure of a strategically important "language".

Zina Portnic and Valais The cat's title of the Heroes of the Soviet Union was awarded 13 years after the victory, in 1958. Zina was awarded the award for the courage with whom she led the underground work, then carried out the duties of a connected between the partisans and the underground and eventually carried out inhuman flour, hitting the Hitlermen at the very beginning of 1944. Valya - for the totality of exploits in the ranks of the Shepetovsky partisan detachment of the name of Karmelyuk, where he came after a year of work in the underground organization in Shepetovka itself. And Marat Kazai was awarded the highest award only a year of the 20th anniversary of the victory: a decree on the title of the title Hero of the Soviet Union was published on May 8, 1965. For almost two years - from November 1942 to May 1944 - Marat went to the partisan compounds of Belarus and died, undermining the last grenade and herself, and surrounding his Nazis.

Over the past half century, the circumstances of the features of the fourth of the heroes became known to the whole country: not one generation of Soviet schoolchildren has grown in their example, and today they certainly tell about them. But among those who did not receive the highest award, there were a lot of real heroes - pilots, sailors, snipers, scouts and even musicians.

Sniper Vasily Kurka.

The war caught Vasya sixteen-year-old teenager. In the first days, he was mobilized to the labor front, and in October, he made enrollment in the 726th Rifle Regiment of the 395th Rifle Division. At first, inappropriate age, the boy, who also looked for a couple of years younger than his age, left in the mound: they say, there is nothing to do teenagers on the advanced. But soon the guy achieved his own and was translated into a combat unit - to the snipers team.

Amazing Military Fate: From the first to the last day, Vasya Kloka went in the same shelf of the same division in the same shelf! Made a good military career, Having reached the title of Lieutenant and accepting the rifle platoon. He recorded on his own account, according to various sources, from 179 to 200 destroyed Nazis. Passed with battles from Donbass to Tuapse and back, and then farther, to the west, to Sandomira bridgehead. There's a Lieutenant Kurka and was mortally wounded in January 1945, less than six months before the victory.

Pilot Arkady Kamanan.

The location of the 5th Guards Assault Aviakorpus 15-year-old Arkady Kamanan arrived together with the Father, appointed to the post of commander of this famous part. The pilots were surprised to learn that the son of the legendary pilot, one of the seven of the first heroes of the Soviet Union, the Chelyuskina rescue expedition participant will work by aircraft in the squadron of communication. But soon they were convinced that the "General Son" did not justify their negative expectations at all. The boy was not hiding behind the back of the famous Father, but simply did his job well - and struggling to the sky.

Soon Arkady achieved his one: first he rises into the air as a summer leaving, then the navigator on the U-2, and then goes to the first independent departure. Finally - the long-awaited appointment: the son of General Kamanin becomes the pilot of the 423rd separate squadron. Before the victory of Arkady, who served before the title of the foreman, managed to fly almost 300 hours and deserve three orders: two - the Red Star and one - a red banner. And if it were not for meningitis, literally in a matter of days, killed 18-year-old guy in the spring of 1947, perhaps in the cosmonaut detachment, whose first commander was a kamanan-senior, it would have been a kamanan junior: in the Names of Zhukovsky Arkady, it managed to enter Back in 1946.

Front-line scout Yuri Zhadno

In the army, the ten-year-old Yura turned out to be accidental. In July 1941, he went to show a little-known ferrod in the Western Dvina retreating redarmers and did not have time to return to his native Vitebsk, where the Germans had already entered. So and left with a part to the east, to Moscow, to start the return path to the West from there.

In this way, Yura managed a lot. In January 1942 he, he never had a parachute with a parachute, goes to the revenue that fell into the environment to the partisans and helps them break through the enemy ring. In the summer of 1942, together with the group of searcher's intelligence officers, a strategically important bridge over Berezina explodes, sending a bridge cannon to the bottom of the river, but also nine trucks passing around him, and less than in a year it turns out to be the only one of all connected, who managed to break through to the surrounded Battalion and help him get out of the Ring.

By February 1944, the 13-year-old breast of the 13-year scout was decorated with a courage and the Order of the Red Star. But the projectile broke literally under his feet interrupted the front career of Yura. He got into the hospital, from where he was heading to the Suvorov school, but did not pass on the state of health. Then the retired young intelligence officer retrained into the welders and on this "front" also managed to become famous, having traveled with his welding machine almost half of Eurasia - built pipelines.

Infantryman Anatoly Komar

Among the 263 Soviet soldiers who closed enemy embrasures closed by their bodies, the most younger was the 15-year-old Private 332rd intelligence company of the 252nd Rifle Division of the 53rd Army of the 2nd Ukrainian Front Anatoly Komar. In the existing army, the teenager was hit in September 1943, when the front came close to his native Slavyansk. It happened almost as well as Yura Zhadno, with the only difference that the boy served as a conductor not from retreating, but at the coming red-Armenians. Anatoly helped them go deep into the front-line lane of the Germans, and then left along with the upcoming army to the West.

But, unlike Yura Zhadno, the front-line path of the mosquito was much shorter. Only two months later, I was able to wear epaulent recently in the Red Army and go to intelligence. In November of the same year, returning from his free search to the rear in Germans, the group of intelligence officers revealed himself and was forced to break into her with the battle. The last obstacle on the way back was a machine gun, pressed exploration to Earth. Anatoly Komar threw a grenade into him, and the fire verse, but it was worth the reconnaissance as a machine gunner began to shoot again. And then, the closer to the enemy of Tole rose and fell on the machine-gun trunk, by purchasing precious minutes for a breakthrough.

Sailor Boris Kuleshin

On the cracked photography against the background of sailors in black shape with cartridge boxes on the back and the superstructure of the Soviet cruiser, a boy is ten years old. His hands are firmly squeezed by the machine gun of the PPS, and the head is banging with the Guards ribbon and the inscription "Tashkent". This is the pupil of the crew of the leader of the destroyer "Tashkent" Boris Kuleshin. The snapshot was taken in Poti, where after repair the ship went to the next cargo of ammunition for a deposited Sevastopol. It is here that the Skhodni "Tashkent" and the twelve-year-old Boris Kuleshin appeared. His father died at the front, the mother, as soon as Donetsk was occupied, stolen to Germany, and he himself managed to go through the front line to his own and together with the retreating army to the Caucasus.

While they persuaded the commander of the ship Vasily Eroshenko, while they decided, which combat part of the junction, sailors managed to give it a belt, caking and automatic and take a picture of a new crew member. And then there was a transition to Sevastopol, the first in the life of Bory raid on Tashkent and the first in the life of the closet for the zenith artavtomat, which he was on a par with other zenitchiks. In his fighting post, he was injured on July 2, 1942, when German aviation tried to sink the ship in the port of Novorossiysk. After the hospital, Boria, after the captain, Eroshenko came to a new ship - the Guards Cruiser "Red Caucasus". And already here, he found his deserved award: presented for fights at Tashkent to the medal "for courage", he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of the Red Banner of the Army of Marshal of the Budennye and Member of the Marshal Commander. And in the next front shot, he is already banging in the new formen of the young sailor, on the head of which a shortage of the guards ribbon and the inscription "Red Caucasus". It is in this form in 1944 Boria and went to the Tbilisi Nakhimovskaya school, where in September 1945 was among other teachers, educators and pupils were awarded the medal "For the victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945."

Musician Peter Klypa

The fifteen-year-old pupil of the musical platoon of the 333rd rifle regiment Peter Klypa should have been, like other minor inhabitants of the Brest Fortress, with the beginning of the war go to the rear. But to leave the fighting citadel, which was among others and the only native man - his older brother Lieutenant Nikolai, Petya refused. So he became one of the first in the history of the Great Patriotic War of adolescent soldiers and a full participant in the heroic defense of the Brest Fortress.

He fought there until the beginning of July, until he received an order together with the remains of the regiment to break through to Brest. From here and started by Petitia. Running through the influx of Bug, he was among other colleagues captured, from which he soon managed to run. I got to Brest, lived there a month and moved to the east, behind the retreating Red Army, but did not reach. During one of the nights, he was discovered with a friend, and adolescents were sent to forced work in Germany. We liberated Petya in 1945 by American troops, and after checking, he even managed to serve in the Soviet Army for several months. And on returning to the Motherland again pleased with the bastard, because he succumbed to the persuasion of an old friend and helped to speculate drunk. Liberated Peter Klypa only seven years old. Thank you for it, he needed a historian and writer Sergei Smirnov, on the tavern recreated the history of the heroic defense of the Brest Fortress and, of course, who did not miss the history of one of her young defenders, who was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War I degree after liberation.
