The question is what do I know about the war. Report: What I know about the Great Patriotic War. The shelter had its own regime

The war was not sudden

Eduard Agabekov, 86 years old: - In 1941 I was 16 years old. The news of the war found me in Baku. I learned about its beginning from friends. She didn't surprise me. After all, we read the reports and expected something similar. I really wanted to go, I was eager to defend my homeland, but I was only 16, and therefore I became a graduate of the combined arms infantry school. And then I was drafted into an aviation school, after which I worked as a mechanic. Throughout the war, I worked for them at the front.

The daughter knew that the father would not return

- I was only 5 years old, but I remember how it is now. We lived in Kushva, all the men immediately began to call, including my dad. Dad hugged mom, they both cried, kissed ... I remember how I grabbed him by the tarpaulin boots and shouted: “Daddy, don’t go! They will kill you there, they will kill you!” When he got on the train, my mother took me in her arms, we both sobbed, she whispered through her tears: “Wave to dad ...” What is there, I sobbed so much, I could not move my hand. We never saw him again, our breadwinner.

This photo was taken shortly before the war. Dina Belykh in a white bow sits on her mother's lap. Dina Nikolaevna Belykh saw her father for the last time 70 years ago, on June 22, 1941

At night waiting for summons

Lydia Shablova, 85 years old: - We were tearing shingles in the yard to cover the roof. The kitchen window was open and we heard the radio announce that the war had begun. Father froze. His hands dropped: “We probably won’t finish the roof anymore ...” From that day on, we waited for the agenda every night. My father was taken away in October.


In June 41, Lydia Shablova was 15 years old

About what's on Soviet Union Germany attacked, Maria Makarovna Karlashova found out only a day after the start of the war.
- We were on Far East. At that time, I was a leader in a pioneer camp, - recalls Maria Makarovna. - There was a fire. The first shift is over. In the morning, the head of the camp woke us up and said that the war had begun. Life was rebuilt on a war footing quickly. Digging fortifications, preparing. We were waiting for a war to break out with China or with Japan. And we have a border strip - 60 km from the border. But the children - 400 people - were brought to us on the second shift. And in August the same number of children came.

Last good night

Claudia Bazilevich, 80 years old: - When the war was announced on the radio, I felt bad. The neighbor said to her mother: “Look at Klava, she has turned pale all over!” Everyone was silent at dinner. This night was the last when I slept peacefully, because the next day they started bombing us.


Klava Bazilevich was 10 years old in 1941

There was a sense of uneasiness

The war overtook Dmitry Savelyev in Novokuznetsk: - We gathered at the poles with loudspeakers. We listened carefully to Molotov's speech. For many, there was a feeling of some kind of wariness. After that, the streets began to empty, after a while food disappeared from the shops. They weren't bought up - just the supply was reduced ... People were not afraid, but rather focused, they did everything that the government told them. There was such a mobilization for work. They worked unquestioningly, discipline became tougher. We started school late, finished early, and spent all our free time working in the fields.

Rumors spread throughout the village that the war would be long.

When the war began, 17-year-old Zufar Gilmanov was the eldest man in the family - his father died young. - I lived in the village of Bekeevo, which is located in Bashkortostan. We didn’t have a radio at home, and therefore I learned about the beginning of the war at the shop (central store), where all the villagers were called. After the words of the announcer, everyone was in shock, the news was very unexpected. The panic began. Almost everyone ran to the store to stock up on matches and salt. Talk began about who would be taken, who would not be taken to the war. People were afraid because rumors quickly spread through the village that the war would be long. As a result, almost all were taken to the war. I was afraid that they would take me too. He worried not for himself, but for his two brothers and sisters. We were left orphans - I was the oldest. I had to feed my family. As a result, they didn’t take me, a disabled person with a broken arm. Throughout the war he worked as an accountant.

Mom covered with her body

In June 1941, 16-year-old Alevtina Kotik lived with her parents and younger brother in Lithuania.

The bombing started at four o'clock in the morning. I woke up from the fact that I hit my head on the bed - the ground shook from falling bombs. I ran to my parents. Dad said: “The war has begun. We have to get out of here!” We did not know with whom the war started, we did not think about it, it was just very scary. Dad was a military man, and therefore he was able to call a car for us, which took us to the railway station. They took only clothes with them. All furniture and household utensils remained. At first we rode on a freight train. I remember how my mother covered me and my brother with her body, then they transferred to a passenger train. The fact that the war with Germany was learned somewhere at 12 o'clock in the afternoon from oncoming people. Near the city of Siauliai we saw a large number of wounded, stretchers, doctors. Our path lay in the Moldavian USSR, where we settled before arriving in Moscow.

And the first day of the war was the last when we saw dad alive. He died at the front.

Everyone was sure of victory

The ten-year-old Ninel Karpova found the war in Kharovsk, the regional center of the Vologda region:
- We listened to the message about the beginning of the war from the loudspeaker at the House of Defense. There were a lot of people there.

I was not upset, on the contrary, I became proud: my father will defend the Motherland. After all, he was a soldier. In addition, she and her mother filed a report to be taken to the front (mother was a doctor). Therefore, I had to stay for the winter to study with my grandparents, which I was very glad about. But they didn’t take my mother, and my father was appointed head of a military school for the training of junior officers.

In general, people were not afraid. Yes, women, of course, were upset, crying. But there was no panic. Everyone was sure that we would quickly defeat the Germans. The men said: “Yes, the Germans will drape from us!”

And in addition

The subway has become a refuge

On the first day of the Great Patriotic War, the Moscow metro was turned into a bomb shelter.

Plank floors were laid on the tracks in the tunnels. 4,600 trestle beds and 3,800 cots were delivered to 20 stations. Equipped toilets, installed drinking fountains. Only in the autumn of 1941 more than 500 thousand people a day found refuge there.

217 children were born underground in 1941.
There were 21 first-aid posts in the subway. In 1941, 70,000 people turned to them for help. Film screenings and performances by propaganda teams were held at the stations, and libraries worked. The sale of milk and white bread for children was organized.

The shelter had its own regime

When the threat of bombing became daily, the metro was switched to a mode of operation in which trains were stopped from 18:00 and Muscovites passed inside.

The townspeople were so accustomed to this regime that an hour and a half before six in the evening, a line of people with suitcases and bundles lined up in front of the doors of the subway, wishing to hide in a safe place.

I know that the war lasted 5 years from June 22, 1941 to May 9, 1945. I know that the Germans first attacked the Brest Fortress. The soldiers guarding the border bravely fought for about two months. I know that there was a blockade of Leningrad. People were starving and freezing. They were given 100 grams of bread and then on cards. Food could be transported to the city in winter along the frozen Lake Ladoga, the so-called "road of life". I know about Nazi death camps. Many people died in them. I know that people worked very hard to help the Soviet soldiers.

I firmly believe that war is scary.

I hope that people will not allow such a terrible war again.

The war began in 1941 and ended in 1945. She was cruel and harsh to everyone. In the war, people died who fought to the death for their homeland. People were dying of hunger and fascist bullets.

The Great Patriotic War, which lasted 5 years, became a tragedy for many countries and peoples. The war brought a lot of grief and misfortune to the lives of many people. The best human qualities were manifested there: courage, courage, love for the Motherland. Women also fought in the war, who cared for the sick and wounded soldiers.

It was terrible time, and today we must say words of gratitude to all those who gave their lives for us to live. We must not forget this feat.

War. What a terrible word. My mother told me that our great-grandfathers had to defend our Motherland in 1941-1945 from fascist invaders. The war brought a lot of grief and misfortune to the lives of many people. Many died on the fronts, many went to concentration camps. Everyone knows the blockade of Leningrad, when only 100 g of bread was allocated per person. Children helped the partisans, worked in factories and put out burning shells. In battle, women were also not inferior to experienced soldiers. How many wounded soldiers were saved by Shura Serebrovskaya during the assault on Pillau, but she herself died. My great-grandfather Ivan also fought. Fled from the police, took Prague and Berlin. And I'm very proud of them!

Our generation does not know what war is. For this we must thank our veterans. So let's honor the memory of the dead and worthily carry the title of the Great Russian people!

At four o'clock in the morning on June 22, 1941, without declaring war, the German army attacked the Soviet Union. It was the most greatest war throughout the history of mankind. A huge number of people died in this war. People gave their lives for the fate of their Motherland, for their comrades. The cities that withstood the onslaught of the enemy were awarded the title of heroes. During the siege of Leningrad, people stayed in the encircled city for nine hundred days and did not give it to the enemy. The war ended on May 9, 1945

We must remember those who accomplished the very feat in the name of our Motherland.

How much war hurt

Gray-haired and children's heads.

We know about this war

Only according to the stories of grandfathers.

The Great Patriotic War lasted from June 22, 1941 to May 9, 1945. It was the most terrible war not only for the Soviet people, but also for many other peoples. In this war, the Soviet people showed their will and solidarity to the whole world. Thanks to the courage and unity of the peoples of the Soviet Union, fascism was defeated. The Soviet people paid a huge price for the victory - more than 27 million people died.

I really want this to never happen again.

Patriotic War. Men, women, children, old people left to fight. People looked death in the eyes, went into battle no matter what. They withstood frost, cold, hunger, enemy bombardments, did not sleep, spent the night in the open. The war brought a lot of grief and misfortune. People gave their lives for freedom, for a peaceful life, for the future. It was a terrible time.

Today we must say words of gratitude to all those who gave their lives for us to live!

The Great Patriotic War began on June 22, 1941. Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union without declaring war.

Defense Brest Fortress one of the first battles. The Soviet army held back the onslaught of the Germans for a week. During the defense of the Brest Fortress Soviet troops suffered heavy losses.

Besieged Leningrad had the hardest time. The city was surrounded on all sides by the Germans. When food supplies ran out, they were delivered to the city along the "road of life". The norm of bread was 250 grams per day.

The Great Patriotic War began at 4 am on June 22, 1941. German troops treacherously, without declaring war, invaded the territory of the Soviet Union. The main blow fell on the hero city of Brest. Warriors fought bravely and for a long time Soviet army in the Brest Fortress, but the forces were not equal. The Germans continued their offensive to the east. Hitler wanted to conquer all of Europe and the Soviet Union. But Battle of Stalingrad ruined all his plans.

The war began on June 22, 1941 and ended on May 9, 1945. Today, Victory Day is celebrated on this day. Germany attacked our country. During this terrible 4 years, millions of people died, the Nazis burned and destroyed hundreds of cities and villages. People were starving. Women and children worked in factories. There were concentration camps, the blockade of Leningrad. The war brought a lot of grief and misfortune. We should be grateful to all those who gave their lives for our life and the world.

The Great Patriotic War of 1941 is the most brutal and bloody in the history of the 20th century. About 26.6 million people died in this war. Children fought alongside the soldiers. They helped in partisan detachments, rescued the wounded, helped in the rear at factories and plants.

Among them was a girl
Zina Portnova. She worked as a waitress in a fascist canteen. This girl fearlessly planted a deadly poison in the food of the Germans.

The boys also performed feats. They helped the soldiers. They talked about where the Nazis store ammunition and equipment, went to reconnaissance.

The most terrible page in the history of the Great Patriotic War was the besieged Leningrad. That city was cut off by the Nazis. outside world. The only way out of besieged Leningrad was through Lake Ladoga. It was used to deliver food to the city. This road was called the Road of Life.

Start Great Patriotic War.

June 22, 1941 Nazi Germany, without declaring war, suddenly attacked the Soviet Union. Violating the Soviet-German non-aggression pact concluded on August 23, 1939. At the same time, Italy, Finland, Hungary, and Romania entered the war against the USSR.

During the years of the pre-war 5-year plans, 9,000 large industrial enterprises were built in the Soviet Union. Industry developed especially hard in the Urals and Siberia. Soviet designers developed new models of military equipment (the T-34 medium tank was recognized as the best combat vehicle during the 2nd World War). During 1940, the first half of 41. in the USSR, 2,000 new tanks and about 8,000 combat aircraft were produced, which was clearly not enough to ensure the country's defense capability. Budget appropriations for defense increased from 25% in 1939 to 43% in 1941. the total number of armed forces of the USSR in prewar period 5 million people The population of the USSR in 1941 was 192 million people.

In April 1940 In Germany, the Barbarossa plan was developed, which provided for the lightning defeat of our country. The Germans planned to defeat the Red Army in 1.5 - 2 months, capture Moscow and Leningrad, reach the line of the city of Arkhangelsk - the river. Volga. With powerful blows to the industrial Urals, end the war.

At the same time, the Ost plan was developed, according to which the territory of the Baltic republics: Belarus, Ukraine, the European territory of the RSFSR were to be annexed to Germany and settled by German colonies. The local population was turned into slaves or destroyed.

The German invasion army numbered 5.5 million people. (152 divisions), 4,000 tanks, 5,000 combat aircraft, about 50,000 guns and mortars.

The total strength of the German armed forces in 1941. – 8.5 million people (in 1939, the German army consisted of 110 divisions, 1941 - 208)

The Germans attacked in 3 main directions:

1. Army Group "North" - through the territory of the Baltic Republic, to Leningrad.

2. Army Group "Center" (the most powerful army group) advanced through the so-called "Smolensk Gates" - Minsk, Smolensk, Moscow.

3. Army Group "South" - Ukraine, Kyiv, Dombas, Crimea.

The Soviet country faced a difficult task: to turn the USSR into a single combat camp in the shortest possible time; increase the number and strengthen the army in every possible way; reorganize the work of the Soviet rear in order to ensure a sufficient output of military equipment; normalize the living conditions of the civilian population in wartime.

The success of the mobilization policy: only by July 1, 1941. 5 million 300 thousand people were mobilized.

June 30, 1941 The State Defense Committee (GKO) was formed, which concentrated in its hands all power in the state. For the general management of hostilities, the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief was created, the working body of which was. General base. Stalin was the supreme commander and chairman of the GKO.

average speed the advance of the Germans, in the first days of the war, consisted of 30 km per day. The border units of the Red Army retreated, many were captured.

In 1941 3 million 900 thousand were captured by the Germans. Soviet soldiers and officers.

Army Group North July 10, 1941 went to Leningrad. The 900 day defense of Leningrad began.

Army Group Center July 10, 1941 went to Smolensk. The biggest battle has begun. WITH summer 1941 - Battle of Smolensk - Until September 10, 1941. Smolensk was taken. (For the first time, the Germans met stubborn resistance from the Red Army. Near Smolensk, the losses of the Germans amounted to 100 thousand people.)

Army Group South. July 11, 1941 went to Kyiv. September 19, 1941 Kyiv was abandoned. 30 Sept. 1941 Odessa was abandoned. The 250 day defense of Sevastopol began.

By the winter of 1941. The Germans occupied the territory in which 40% of the population of the USSR lived. More than 60% of coal, 58% of steel, more than 80% of sugar were mined ...

Conclusion: victory was not forged with the help of that powerful potential that was created at such a high price during the years of the first five-year plans.

Reasons for the failures of the Red Army:

  1. the grossest strategic miscalculation of Stalin and his entourage in terms of the start of the war, and in determining the direction of the main blow (Stalin believed that the main blow would be delivered in a southerly direction, to Ukraine), outdated ideas about the methods of waging war, in the initial period.
  2. delay in bringing troops, border military districts, to combat readiness. It led to the destruction of almost 80% of military equipment (only on the first day of the war, 1200 aircraft were destroyed at Soviet airfields without even taking off (the Germans lost 35 aircraft)).
  3. mass repressions 37-38g. deprived the army of more than 40 thousand commanders, watered. Workers, military engineers, out of 5 marshals, 3 were shot by the beginning of the war (only 7% of the command of the red army had a higher military education).
  4. the military-economic potential of Germany used the resources of almost all of Western Europe, and significantly exceeded the military-economic potential of the USSR.

The defeat of the German-fascist troops near Moscow.

30 Sept. – 20 Oct. 1941 the Germans resumed the general offensive against Moscow (Operation Typhoon, 77 selected German divisions). The Moscow direction was defended by the troops of the Western, Reserve and Bryansk Fronts.

Oct 7 1941 in the Vyazma region, the troops of the Western and Reserve fronts were surrounded (according to German data, 663 thousand Soviet soldiers and officers were captured). The headquarters of the supreme commander decides to merge the Western and Reserve fronts (Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov was appointed the new commander).

Early October 1941 The State Defense Committee, signed by Stalin, decides on the beginning of the evacuation to the east of industrial enterprises, state and government institutions, residents of Moscow; plans were drawn up for mining industrial facilities that could not be evacuated.

Oct 20 1941 The GKO declared Moscow under a state of siege. It was decided not to surrender the city under any circumstances.

November 6, 1941 at the Mayakovskaya metro station, a solemn meeting was held dedicated to the anniversary of the revolution. Stalin made a report at the meeting, hiding the truth about the huge losses of the Red Army. And determining the possible timing of the end of the war, he said: "... another half a year, well, maybe a year."

November 7, 1941 A parade of Red Army troops was held on Red Square. Troops went straight from the parade to the front.

November 15, 1941 the 2nd stage of the Moscow battle began. The Germans resumed the general offensive against Moscow. As a result of the general attack on Moscow (that is, from September 30, 1941), the Germans captured Klin, Kalinin, Rogachevo, Kryukovo, Istra, approached Zvenigorod (in some sectors of the front, the Germans approached Moscow by 25-30 km.) Mozhaisk, Yelets, Koluga approached Tula. They could not take Tula, they went around from the east, went under Kashira.

November 5-6, 1941 The counter-offensive of the Red Army near Moscow began. Forces of 3 fronts of Kalinin, Western, South-Western. As a result of this offensive, Kalinin, Klin, Mozhaisk, Istra, Kaluga, Yelets were liberated ... a total of 60 cities, 11 thousand people. settlements, Moscow, Ryazan and Tula regions. the Germans were pushed back from Moscow by 100-250 km.

Conclusion: As a result of the defeat of the German-fascist troops near Moscow, the plan was thwarted lightning war. In the first, the Germans suffered a serious defeat.

By the summer of 1942 An anti-Hitler coalition was formed, which included 28 countries.

May and June 1942 between the USSR, England and the USA an agreement was reached on the opening in Europe in 1942. second front.

The defeat of the German-fascist troops near Stalingrad.

After the defeat of the Germans near Moscow, the German command was preparing an offensive in the southern direction. The Germans sought to seize the initiative, inflict a decisive defeat on the Red Army and end the war against the USSR in 1942.

In May 1942 The Germans launched a decisive offensive in the Crimea. They captured the Circassian semi-island and began the assault on Sevastopol.

after 250 days of defense, Sevastopol was surrendered.

In May 1942 a significant part of the forces southwestern front was surrounded in the Kharkov region. Leaving the encirclement, the troops of the Red Army suffered significant losses.

In August 1942 the Germans launched an offensive in the northern Caucasus, captured Krasnodar, Maikop, Stavropol, Armavir ... rushed to Baku, but were stopped near Ordzhonikidze.

Conclusion: victory was not forged with the help of that powerful potential that was created at such a high price during the years of the first five-year plans.

Reasons for the failures of the Red Army:

  1. the grossest strategic miscalculation of Stalin and his entourage in terms of the start of the war, and in determining the direction of the main blow (Stalin believed that the main blow would be delivered in a southerly direction, to Ukraine), outdated ideas about the methods of waging war, in the initial period.
  2. delay in bringing troops, border military districts, to combat readiness. It led to the destruction of almost 80% of military equipment (only on the first day of the war, 1200 aircraft were destroyed at Soviet airfields without even taking off (the Germans lost 35 aircraft)).
  3. mass repressions 37-38g. deprived the army of more than 40 thousand commanders, watered. Workers, military engineers, out of 5 marshals, 3 were shot by the beginning of the war (only 7% of the Red Army command had a higher military education).
  4. the military-economic potential of Germany used the resources of almost all of Western Europe, and significantly exceeded the military-economic potential of the USSR.

The defeat of the German-fascist troops near Moscow.

30 Sept. – 20 Oct. 1941 the Germans resumed the general offensive against Moscow (Operation Typhoon, 77 selected German divisions). The Moscow direction was defended by the troops of the Western, Reserve and Bryansk Fronts.

Oct 7 1941 in the Vyazma region, the troops of the Western and Reserve fronts were surrounded (according to German data, 663 thousand Soviet soldiers and officers were captured). The headquarters of the supreme commander decides to merge the Western and Reserve fronts (Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov was appointed the new commander).

Early October 1941 The State Defense Committee, signed by Stalin, decides on the beginning of the evacuation to the east of industrial enterprises, state and government institutions, residents of Moscow; plans were drawn up for mining industrial facilities that could not be evacuated.

Oct 20 1941 The GKO declared Moscow under a state of siege. It was decided not to surrender the city under any circumstances.

November 6, 1941 at the Mayakovskaya metro station, a solemn meeting was held dedicated to the anniversary of the revolution. Stalin made a report at the meeting, hiding the truth about the huge losses of the Red Army. And determining the possible timing of the end of the war, he said: "... another half a year, well, maybe a year."

November 7, 1941 A parade of Red Army troops was held on Red Square. Troops went straight from the parade to the front.

November 15, 1941 the 2nd stage of the Moscow battle began. The Germans resumed the general offensive against Moscow. As a result of the general attack on Moscow (that is, from September 30, 1941), the Germans captured Klin, Kalinin, Rogachevo, Kryukovo, Istra, approached Zvenigorod (in some sectors of the front, the Germans approached Moscow by 25-30 km.)

By the summer of 1942 An anti-Hitler coalition was formed, which included 28 countries.

May and June 1942 between the USSR, England and the USA an agreement was reached on the opening in Europe in 1942. second front.

Our country has consistently pursued a peaceful foreign policy: peace treaties with the former allies of Germany: Finland, Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria. The Soviet Union is the initiator of the creation of the UN (in October 1945 the UN charter came into force; the tasks of the UN are to ensure peace and security, to prevent the threat of war in the world).
