In the mist disappeared dear Odessa ...
The next day, ie April 11, 1944, life immediately zaveretelas quite differently. Early in the morning the foreman brought fresh Moscow newspapers. They reported on the successful Soviet offensive in the Crimea, on the release Odessa and many settlements of the region. I avidly read "the truth", "Red Star" and other newspapers. On the orders of the Supreme Commander Comrade Stalin IV, on awarding honorary titles of regiments and divisions, armies of the front of the gun salute in honor of the liberation of Soviet cities and other materials. Read everything from cover to cover. Almost 3 years I have not kept the Soviet newspapers in their hands ... I missed him.
day started with what we have learned about the shooting of the Germans in the yard of a house near the Agricultural Institute. Guys teenage years, 15-16ti, armed with rifles left behind by fleeing Germans and Romanians looked for hiding in attics and cellars of ruined houses of official agencies and the German soldiers themselves dealt with them. In this way, it was found seven bodies of German soldiers, and the perpetrators could not be found. I thought that "our" Germans are lucky that they do not fall into the hands of these guys. Not for nothing was shaking the young German ... He was lucky.
I longed with impatience to see the city center. Immediately after breakfast [Volume 1, page 152] I rushed to the city. The first thing that struck me on the Kulikovo field, this is how the soldiers exchanged for hours, saying only "Makhnev not looking." It turned out that trophy mashinebyl found a box of hand-hours, which was the tag with the name of Fritz, to whom they belonged. Do not know exactly, but apparently they were collected in order to their return to native, and perhaps beyond repair. The fact that the clocks were not new. The soldier, who stood in the back of their car was handed out at the right and left, all the people who pulled hand. I got some that did not go.
not yet approached the yellow. road station, it was evident that he had great damage from the blast. Were smashed all the windows, left wing of the facade lay in ruins, the ceiling collapsed. On the station square was going to people that something was being cooked. Several soldiers staged something like that on visilitsu. Can be executed? Visilitsa was ready for its crossbeam was tied loop of the telephone cable. Only now I uvidelbortovuyu car stand by the wall station, in the back of which there were two machine gunners, and sat on the floor of the Romanian soldiers. They could see only his head with the Romanian head military dress. This car drove by visilitsu, engaged board and made up of Romanian soldiers. He stood silently with coupled behind the hands ... Officer announced the order in which words were spoken: "for looting and rape of Soviet women." Was wearing a noose on his neck [Volume 1, page 153] and the car moved forward ...
Later, when I returned from town, I went to still hung corpse. Shoes with his feet were already kum a shot, his head bent to one side and from the nose crept green Snivel ... It was disgusting to look at the whole picture. In the city I was walking on Pushkin Street. Towards the convoy of prisoners of war were the Germans and Romanians. Many residents looked at the procession and paid homage fair blasphemy on their heads. Separate men even managed to hit a foot or a stick wandering captives но конвойные не допускали расправ.
На Приморском бульваре, взгялнув на порт, я был поражен его разрушениями. Большое здание холодильника было взорвано, elevator destroyed and steaming. Burning grain. Were blown cranes and berths ... Immediately, on the Boulevard, I yvidel group of generals who saw the port with the height Boulevard and something talked among themselves ... I heard the words of regret that were unable to save seed .... It is so necessary for the country. ..
But the building survived the famous Odessa Opera House, although govoryatono was prepared for the explosion. Saved his underground that time sumeli off detonators. Many streets wells were blown up with the telephone network, blown manhole covers water, burning out several large office buildings. But in general, Odessa remained such what it left the Soviet forces in autumn 1941. It was a wonderful sunny weather, all residents were in the streets ...
[Volume 1, page 154] Next day were placed orders to the commandant of the town which read: "All men from 18 to 55 years to appear in MER at their residence, taking with him a couple of change of linen, spoon, mug and supply of food for 5 days. " My Kaganovichesky RVC was very close to home. Go through the Kulikovo field and all. He was placed in the building of our institute to "Chizhikova 13. There were chertezhka and geokamera. Now in this building was MERs. We went to look, together with Olga while predvaritelnoizuchit situation. In the small square in front of a crowd a lot of people. There were not only men but even more women and children. They are escorted to the front of their fathers, husbands, sons ... Tears and jokes - all mixed up, but overall it was a sad event for each family and each person ... Every two - three hours from here, "recruits", built in the columns of 200-250 people, led by sergeants otpravlyalispeshkom 02/03 (rumored) in Beryozovka, which was in the 50-60km north of Odessa. There was a reserve regiment Army 3rd Ukrainian Front. There looked to someone who-is-ktoYu was there and the medical board and another check ...
bringing in backpack all that is necessary, I bye Semyon Vikentyevich and Fenay Ivanovna, with domupravom and we Olga went to RVC. Half a day sitting and waiting their turn. We talked about many things, but the themes personal relations are not affected. So I walked into the recruiting office building. On the second floor where we had placed [Volume 1, page 155] dressing room, now sat at the table Chairmen of the RVC. From the words of writing the name, first name, year and place of Rodin, etc. Took the documents and, almost without reading them, threw a mountain such as passports and military tickets in the corner. It shocked me. I'm so Save your documents. Only they could justify me, remove, exempt from many of life's conflicts, which in time of war was more than enough. The doctor, who was sitting here in a white robe, he asked what I was complaining. I said about his physical disability, which had previously been exempt from military service. Examined the leg and asked several times to sit down. Unfit to non-combatant - was his conclusion. Had have to wait awhile until typing the command to 200 people. Construction of the yard was not long. We kissed with Olga and followed the command "step in the march." Discordant steps, without music, the column moved across town to Peresyp. The first camp was on the road near Hadzhibekskogo estuary. In our colony were people different ages and health. The column stretched, sergeants shouting, to put it mildly, the laggards. I was hopeful and relatively healthy. Military service was not afraid, as some ...
Our column rose to the highest point of terrain ahead plains to the horizon, and behind the more visible was nice, now become home to Odessa. Farewell, beloved city!
