The story of my grandmother Valentina Nikolaevna Tonkonogova about her father, my great-grandfather, Nikolai Antonovich Tonkonogov. I want to leave my grandchildren a little story about an ordinary soldier of the 1941-1945 war. My father talked a lot about where he fought and how it was, about his friends and comrades. I always remember these stories. When his grandchildren, my children, grew up, they also listened to grandfather with bated breath. The father was born in 1921 into a large family, was the sixth child and the fourth brother, after the elders, who went to war. Before the outbreak of the war, he graduated from an Infantry School. He began to fight on the Ukrainian front. In 1943, during the retreat of our troops, many, like my father, were surrounded and captured by the Germans. They were kept in the camp behind barbed wire, guarded with dogs. He and a group of his comrades prepared for the escape carefully, and the escape was a success. By that time, partisan detachments of the Nikolai Shchors formation were already operating in the Ukrainian forests near the city of Vinnitsa. Soviet fighters who escaped from captivity joined one of such detachments. Dozens of villages were under the patronage of these detachments, which the Germans were afraid to enter. Only special detachments of punitive forces sometimes captured and plundered these villages. The partisans always beat them back. Once they had to liberate the village of Britavka from the Chychelnik district of the Vinnitsa region from the Nazis. After the battle, our wounded, and among them my father, were gathered on carts and taken to the homes of residents of the nearest villages. It was on January 21, 1943. The wound was in the leg, my father could not walk. They left him for treatment in the village of Vasylivka in the house of the Ukrainian woman Yuzko Afiya Filppovna. She and her husband took care of him for 3 months. Once the fascists entered the village. They went from house to house and took whatever they could take. They also went into the house of the elderly Yuzko. They pointed with machine guns to the stove where my father was lying. Who, they say, is he? Afiya Filippovna replied that this was her son, and he was sick with a fever. The Germans were very afraid of any infectious diseases, so they quickly left the house. This is how a Ukrainian woman saved, treated, fed the twenty-two year old young soldier as she could. It seemed to her father that she was already elderly. And she was only a little over forty years old. His father stayed in Yuzko's house until April 30, 1944, when he was sent to the hospital behind the front line, which is confirmed by a reference certificate issued by the command of the partisan detachment. This document is kept in our family as a relic, as a memory of our father, who went through the hard and bloody roads of the war. Copy of Characteristics for a partisan fighter of the Shchors partisan detachment of the Lenin Tonkonogov Cavalry Brigade Nikolai Antonovich, born in 1921, Russian. He arrived in the partisan detachment from captivity on August 10, 1943. During his stay in the partisan detachment, Comrade.

Of the four brothers Tonkonogov, three brothers returned from the war: Fyodor Antonovich, Leiutenant Colonel of the reserve; Alexander Antonovich, Major in Reserve, still fought in the Far East; Nikolay Antonovich is a Private soldier. The fourth brother, Tonkonogov Ivan Antonovich, was killed in action defending the city of Stalingrad. His name appears on a stele in his native village of Loboikovo, installed in honor of fellow villagers who fell in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. More than fifty badges of awards received by the brothers during the war are kept in my modest wooden box with accompanying documents. My children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of my father always treat the orders and medals of their ancestors with awe, sorting through them and honoring the memory of the four Tonkonogov brothers who honorably fulfilled their military duty to the Motherland. P.S On December 22, 1994, my dear and beloved father, Nikolai Antonovich Tonkonogov, passed away. Our family kept in touch with the Ukrainian family of Yuzko Afia Filippovna for many years. For each Victory Day, congratulations and wishes for good and peace were sent to each other. The kind guardian angel Afiya Filippovna survived her young rescued soldier. In 1995, our family, as always, received a postcard from her on May 9, addressed to Nikolai Antonovich. My daughter, the mother of my grandson Danila, wrote her a sad letter that our Defender of the Motherland died ... I really want to believe that in our turbulent time, trouble will bypass their family and country. (great-grandson Danila Ponomarev)

Rank: Sergeant Branch of troops: Ground Forces, Air Force (except for naval Aviation), Coastal Service, NKVD troops, Border Troops. Too little I know about my grandfather, Dementy Nikolaevich Sviridov. I was not yet in the world when my grandfather died in the war. The threads to his fate were also lost. In August 1943, my grandmother and his wife Sviridova Solomeya Stepanovna received a death notice. It was very hard for her alone with three children in her arms. Like many families, they were poor, starved, moved from place to place, and somewhere all the papers were lost on the way. And nothing was known about her husband. Having sent a request to the place where he was called from, the answer came: Sviridov Name Dmitry Patronymic Nikolaevich, Place of birth East Kazakhstan region, Katon-Karagai district, village Chernovaya. The last place of service 75 Guards Suvorov Division. The military rank is Sergeant. The reason for leaving is killed. Date of disposal 07/06/1943. Name of the source of information: TsAMO Fund number of the information source 58 Inventory number of information source 18001 Case number of the information source 707. There were doubts whether he was, according to the documents, the name was not Dementiy, but Dmitry, but comparing all the facts now there is confidence, they just confused the name during registration. Before the war, my grandfather was the Chairman of a kolkhoz, before the war he went to serve in the army, and from there he went straight to the war, so my grandmother never saw him again. In 1942 he sent his photograph. And it was the only memory of him. He died on July 6, 1943, Kursk Bulge, the village of Olkhovatka, height 257, there he remained to lie forever. The Battle of Kursk was planned by the Nazi invaders led by Hitler in response to the Battle of Stalingrad, where they suffered a crushing defeat. The Germans wanted to attack suddenly, but the captured tongue gave information about the upcoming operation. He announced that on the night of July 5, 1943, the Nazis would begin Operation Citadel. The Soviet army decides to start the battle first. On the morning of July 5, the Oryol group of Germans, under the cover of strong artillery fire and Aviation, began their offensive against the troops of the right wing of the Central Front, striking in three directions: at 5:30 am - to Malo-Arkhangelsk, at 7:30 am - to Olkhovatka and in 9 hours 30 minutes - to Gnilets. On the main, Olkhovatsky front, the enemy delivered the main blow, trying to break through to Kursk in the shortest front. The battles in the Olkhovatsky front developed in the following sequence. From the area Soglasny, Arkhangelskoye, New. The enemy farm launched an offensive with large infantry forces supported by up to 500 tanks. Heavy tanks "tiger" in groups of 10-15 vehicles went to the northern bank of the river. Points and from the spot opened a hurricane of fire on the disposition of our troops. Soon, medium and light tanks appeared, which at high speed approached the front edge of our defenses. The Germans somewhat pressed the formations of the 6th Guards Rifle Division of Dmitry Onuprienko. But they did not manage to shoot it down, since it was supported by the 109th tank brigade, the 48th and 58th tank regiments, and the 614th anti-tank fighter Regiment. The village of Olkhovatka went down in the history of the Battle of Kursk as the place of the most intense battles in the Olkhovatsky front. Four times, the Nazis unsuccessfully attacked our positions. Failing to achieve success in the Olkhovatsky front, the fascist German command decided to concentrate efforts on the Ponyrevsky front and strike from the area of the station. Maloarkhangelsk, Buzuluk crush the right flank of the 13th Army. The Ponyrevsky junction, which intercepted the Orel - Kursk railway, was extremely beneficial for our troops. Relying on it, they threatened enemy formations both on the Olkhovatskiy and Maloarkhangelskiy directions. The failure of offensive plans in the northern sector of the Kursk Bulge affected the morale of the Nazi troops. To hide the reasons for their failures, the fascist German command resorted to a fraudulent trick, stating that the Russians were the first to attack in the Kursk Bulge area, and the German troops were ordered to retaliate. Hitler's newspapers wrote that the Soviet troops were suffering colossal losses, that the German new technology, especially the "tigers", was irresistible. The bravura tone of Nazi propaganda was supposed to raise the spirit of the German people and the fascist army and instill confidence in the inevitability of victory. But no matter how sophisticated Hitler's propaganda was, it did not manage to hide the indisputable fact that the plan to attack Kursk from the north was a complete failure. Having thwarted the enemy offensive, exhausting and bleeding his strike force on the northern face of the Kursk salient, the troops of the Central Front created favorable conditions for the transition to a counteroffensive in the Oryol front. The Kursk strategic defensive operation (July 5-23) is an integral part of the Battle of Kursk. The main hostilities unfolded on the northern and southern faces of the Kursk salient, carried out with the aim of disrupting the summer offensive of the German troops according to the Citadel plan. fact. The mass grave of Soviet soldiers was formed during the hostilities. More than 1,800 soldiers are buried. The monument was erected in 1958, in the village of Olkhavatka. (restored in 2004 and 2015) Eternal memory to the participants of the Great Patriotic War and a deep bow. Larisa Zagny

Our pilots destroyed enemy vehicles with well-aimed fire. The pilots made the second raid on the tank column and inflicted serious damage on it. Fascist pilots are afraid of our attack aircraft. At one of the sections, our pilots groped for a column of tanks and Motorized infantry. From the air, the enemy's advance was covered by 9 enemy fighters. However, as soon as our attack aircraft and fighters appeared over the column, the fascist aircrafts stepped aside without a fight, without participation observing the actions of our Aviation.

On January 4, 1942, Nikolai received a combat mission to storm the enemy's airfield in the Volokolamsk region and died while performing a combat mission together with his comrades.

Subsequently, the parents learned the details of the death of their son, Nikolai. When the downed plane caught fire, the crew decided to jump. Nikolai managed to direct his burning plane to a German convoy, and then he himself jumped out with a parachute. But the Nazis noticed and shot him in the air. Our brave uncle, Nikolai Trofimovich Teterin, was killed, and his military awards were lost. Further, Major Konstantin Ivanovich Morskoy writes that he has in his hands a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated August 18, 1944 on awarding the guard of Leiutenant Teterin Nikolai Trofimovich posthumously with the second Order of the Patriotic War 1 degree No. order.
