Kisliy Georgiy Pavlovich was born on August 8, 1927. When the Great Patriotic war began, he was 14 years old. At that time, he lived in the Azov, he was an ordinary teenager, herding cows with the other the boys. In 1942, the Germans came to Azov. Georgiy, as well as many residents of Azov were taken prisoner. First they were loaded on a barge and moved to Rostov-on-don. Then all were loaded in the trade train, like animals, and were transported all over Russia for a long time. They were driven for a month, until they arrived in Germany in the city of Ilm. At the distribution point, all the Russians were lined up in a line, the "baurs" (buyers) came and chose the labor force from the arrivals. And all who remained were put back in the train and taken to the concentration camp. Thus, he ended up in the friedrichshofen concentration camp. They were forced to work there. Later, Georgiy went to the tank factory "Maybach Motorenbau", where they made engines for tanks. Those who had an education were sent to the factory, while the rest were sent to the construction of the plant. He had a chance to unload wagons with construction materials. Bags weighing 50 kilograms were thrown on the teenager's back from the car. Then he was transferred to the factory as a sharpener of parts. For any offense, the Germans beat them with whips. They were escorted to and from the factory with the guns. The food was very bad: for breakfast, coffee without anything, you can say water, for lunch, balanda, for dinner-three potatoes and a piece of bread. There was a garbage can at the factory, and he and a friend climbed into it searching something to eat. Once the German saw this and hit Georgiy with a cord very hard, he lost consciousness. When he woke up, the German continued to strike his back. Georgiy told us that the German beat like a madman until he was stopped by the other guards. His back was black after that, it was very hard to walk, but he was still forced to work. He said that there were both good and bad people among the Germans. There was a German Communist foreman at the factory who treated them well, asked them how they were doing, brought them home, brought them something to eat, and talked with them about the news from the front. As Georgiy said, he supported them. He also warned them about approaching of Anglo-American and French troops, and advised them to flee. Why run? But because the Germans drove all their prisoners into the basements and filled them with water, or drove them into sheds and set them on fire. But everyone really wanted to live. Therefore, Georgiy and two other brave men decided to escape, ran away to the village, hiding in the groves and forests. They met the French army, which sent them to their own. A commandant's regiment consisted of 1,500 former prisoners, was formed. In the autumn of 1945, my grandfather arrived in Poland in the city of Winter waters. And from there he got to Volgograd, where went to work at the factory, got married. And with his wife and daughter, he returned to his native Azov. Georgiy was more fortunate than millions of prisoners. After the war, he had big family, five children, and many grandchildren. He lived a long, happy life.
