Vasily Krysov Biography
They put the weapon. Who has a watch? I think the thousands will still take away, we took, we need a watch. Vasya Plaksin with a tank helmet went around them, he was put on his clock, probably a hundred hours. I showed them where to go, where is the regiment, and they went. I had no one to send to accompany. Vasily Vasilievich Shishkin crawled, quickly eliminated the malfunction and then I took two more battles of prisoners.
In total, the man turned out, and Fomichev Peter Ilyich, the commander of the 1st platoon, did not take a single prisoner, but pressed it with caterpillars. Then he was awarded the hero. He himself was from the Oryol region, the village of Bely Verkh, there was the chairman of the collective farm, he was the sixteenth year of birth. His family remained there, and he thought that the Germans shot his family.
No, they didn’t give anything, nor a medal, nothing. There were deaf commanders, deaf. You fought for more than two years with the rank of lieutenant. How do you explain this? I explain this way: after the wound I arrived at another regiment, I do not know what is recorded in my personal file. It is written that the platoon commander and me put me on a platoon. Like this. The second time I got - it also laughs again.
I did not chase the titles, I was not very interested in it. Interested in me - it is better to fight. And the title is already secondary. There are many categories of them. Which were captured unconscious, seriously wounded - they cannot be reproached for anything. Not even wounded, even a whole regiment, a whole division, a whole corps, a whole army - how to condemn them?
They were surrounded, they were spent ammunition and can not fight. And Stalin personally did not allow the 11th Army on the Southwestern Front to break the encirclement and that's it. And when they were left without ammunition, the Germans took them. Mondelina then shot it, Muzychenko did not touch. Therefore, they are very difficult to blame. Another thing, who himself was captured, surrendered when there was an atmosphere that it was necessary to fight - I condemn those.
In principle, the Vlasovites began to fight at the end of the war. In front of the city of Sedlice in Poland, when we knocked out the Germans from the outskirts of. Lyunduvka - A. We had brisent shells in our ammunition, it seems to be shrapnel. Balls are laid in shrapnel shells, and fragments are laid in brisent. They need to beat that when the Germans are sitting in the trenches, the tube must be put so that the shell explodes exactly above the trench - then they will be killed.
I gave the command of the Battery "Fire", and everyone missed. Do you determine the distance exactly up to a meter? And from there they shout from the trenches in Russian: "Communists, scum, do not shoot badly!" I adjusted the distance, opened fire again - fell silent! Apparently the Vlasovites were there or Bandera. This, perhaps, was the only meeting. Of course, bad. Because they fought against us.
Most of them shot them, but there were no orders on this score. Some shot in order to show heroism, it was necessary to show him in battle. The counterintelligence will figure out who he is as he hit. Their fate, Vlasovites, was unenviable. And those who have nothing to do with Vlasov were still considered the Vlasovites, since he was captured. There were filtration camps, they made a check there.
I only met the French when Koenigsberg had already surrendered. They took them captive, I ask in German, they say: "We are the French." I told them about the situation, so they were delighted that we would take Berlin soon. They fought on the side of the Germans, but by force. They sympathized with us, but could not do anything. The Germans were cruel - if something was wrong, then they could immediately shoot.
The most important thing is that we are now denied and even dislikely denied - they helped us according to Lend -Lease. I will name several numbers. They gave us 14 thousand tanks, 17 thousand aircraft. Maybe it was not so many, but at the moments when our fate hung in the balance, it was significant. They did not immediately give, but they will throw a thousand tanks-after all, there is already something.
A thousand aircraft, and the planes were good, the "aerocobes" are better than the "Messerschmites"; The tanks were unimportant. Now thousands of trucks - this means when we have all the transport was lost. And the ammunition of shells on the trailer. Isn't that help? Somewhere else in 46, the American spruce and Salo Lard. There are a lot of shoes, strategic metal - we left everything in Ukraine - Nikopol.
Therefore, we did not have sub -caliber shells, there was nothing to make of, there is a chromium -nickel, tungsten steel for the core. The rubber was given, somewhere about a million. I am interested in another fact. In Europe, they began only in 44. It is very simple to decipher. The fact is that Churchill did not like the fascists and did not like the Stalinists. For him, they are essentially the same.
He led such a policy - let them destroy each other, and then we will dictate our policy. And the Americans were inclined to this; Although when they had Roosevelt, he treated us more favorably. He helped with what he could - they gave submarines, they gave an armored boat - he helped the Red Army. They landed the landing on July 10 on Sicily, then engaged in Italian troops, concluded an agreement.As for Europe, its north of the Normandy Peninsula, they were in no hurry, firstly, due to the fact that they were not interested, and secondly, they were afraid.
They remembered Ardenne - as the Germans gave in their teeth there. We wanted them to open a second front more. We were a little informed that our leadership insisted to open, but they referred - not ready. Then they prepared the Armada such that there were a lot of ships there. Of course, we were met as liberators, hugged, kissed. After all, our soldiers are good -hearted - what they could help, the kids go there - who will give sugar, who.
They met with flowers when they entered the cities. We entered Glukhov, there we stood with flowers on the street and threw flowers from the balconies - there were pleasant meetings of course. There was a double attitude towards us in Poland. There was the army of Lyudov and the army of Kraiov. Kraiova Army was not interested in helping the Red Army - we were the same enemies as the Germans.
But they were openly afraid to enter into battle with us. Lyudov’s army helped. And the inhabitants? Residents are different, but there was a good campaign for the Germans that if the Soviet troops entered, then you will have collective farms. And here is the first question to us when you go into the village: "Do we have collective farms"? Laughs answered that you will decide for yourself.
They heard from Western Ukrainians and Western Belarusians, which collective farms mean: everyone selects, and even repress - in general, Beria helped the Germans and all our opponents. At 39 when they released, then the executions immediately began, repression - is this a matter?
