Romanenko Vasily Mikhailovich_x000D_ _x000D_ During the Great Patriotic war, he served in Belarus as the head of the special Department of cavalry intelligence. In 1942, he was surrounded. Through the Belarusian forests, he broke through to his own. He was seriously wounded, shell-shocked, and captured. He escaped from captivity, but unsuccessfully. Another captivity - and now a concentration camp in Norway. Blood was taken from prisoners of war all the time. Vasily began to weaken, saved by the fact that he was transferred to a farm to take care of pigs. When our ships from the sea began to bomb Norway, all the prisoners of war were herded back to the camp. They were going to destroy them all, but the Soviet sailors arrived in time. When our prisoners of war were released, none of them could leave the camp on their own feet. The sailors carried them out on their hands and loaded them on boats. Until 1946, he was treated in various hospitals. He returned to his native village of Romanovskaya in the Rostov region. His wife, having received a funeral certificate for him at the beginning of the war, married. It was hard to get into a new life, because they did not like those who were in captivity. A literate man, in the past, a lawyer, but who lost his party card (when in 1942 he broke out of the encirclement, buried the party card in the forest), Vasily Mikhailovich was deprived of the Rank of Communist. But, having a firm character, Vasily Mikhailovich did not shy away from any work: at the dairy, as a carpenter, as a school caretaker. The girl Vera fell in love with Vasily and was not afraid to marry him. So, Vasily Mikhailovich in his fortieth year of life had a new family. He was a self-taught musician: he played the accordion, trumpet, flute and clarinet. He created a brass band at the house of culture. Then his hobby, music, became a second profession.
