Heroes and feats

Every family has its own memory of the war. It is passed down in stories from older generations to younger generations. Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer among us who were a participant in those tragic events, but the memory is still alive. It reaches us in letters, photographs, and archival documents. In my family, they cherish and pass on from generation to generation the story of my great-grandfather, Dmitry Fedorovich Zolotarev. I learned about his life from my mother. She collected information about our hero by asking one of his daughters. We received a lot of information from the state archives after a number of military documents were declassified. We learned that my great-grandfather Dmitry Fyodorovich Zolotarev

The first day of the war - June 22, 1941, Dmitry Fedorovich met in Brest. The day before, on Saturday, June 21, a Komsomol meeting of the garrison took place. All were unarmed, and the next morning at 4 o'clock in the morning a war with Nazi Germany began. From the memoirs of Dmitry Fedorovich: “The planes flew low, dropping bombs. It was total hell. The dust from the explosions of bombs, the smoke from the fires that had begun, blocked the rising sun. It was so scary that it seemed that it would never rise again. "
