at Komsomol meetings company I was admitted to the Komsomol. Komsorgom company was my friend Sasha Shephathiah. I kept his picture, which I put to the text. Born and raised in the Don Cossack family. As a child lost an eye and was lsvobozhden from military duty. He was drafted into the army after the Battle of Stalingrad. After the war I tried to find his address, but received no answer. His farm is under construction Zakharovo Volga-Dnskogo channel was flooded reservoir.
Solution Meeting about my admission to the Young Communist League must be approved by the Political Department in the 3rd Ukrainian Front. In one of the days in August, we went with him and three other newly approved in the Young Communist League in passing car in political office, which is still housed in Berezovka.
All my life I remember a conversation with the Major, who represented Secretary of the Komsomol 3rd Ukrainian Front. He began by saying that I should briefly [Volume 1, page 173] told his biography. Upon learning that I was in the German-occupied Odessa began to ask questions:
- Here, You, Comrade Klimov, why did not open fire, when I first saw that in front of your enemy, the Nazis?
- I was not drafted into the army, was not armed.
- Is not necessarily have to be armed? To combat there are thousands of funds. Why not take a grenade, rifle or machine gun and opened fire? You are entering the ranks of the Komsomol in the Soviet Army - are you willing to give herself entirely for the sake of winning?
- Yes, it is ready! - I said.
- But you were given the case manifest themselves before the enemy, but you did not use it. How could you believe that this will not happen again?
- Now I understood much, reinterpreted.
He began to tell of Komsomol "Young Guards" in Krasnodon, which I then knew nothing. Apparently he was well aware of the Komsomolets Krasnodona, maybe he was associated with their organization.
- Well, we will assume that you are accepted into the ranks of the Komsomol. - He said, ending the conversation.

[Volume 1 sheet 174] In early August, received good news about opening a second front by the Americans and British. The news further approved the idea of imminent defeat Nazis. At our station arrived and quickly unloaded during the night tank brigades. We rejoiced in their powerful and long-barreled bronb orudiyaPribyvala heavy artillery, came "Katyusha". We were tortured work day and night for the unloading of ammunition from the rail cars. All went to that Events will start soon on our front. In early August, the station .... [Ed. - Omitted], our companies were busy combing neighborhoods on proimke saboteurs, parachutists, allegedly dumped in our rear. It was even looks like spy-radio operator. From early morning until night, lined up in the chain at intervals of 20-30 meters, moving fields forested ravines. Stared attentively to everything, where I could hide an enemy. In urban areas, spreading time in the suburbs, starts with a detailed searched all the buildings, attics, basements, barns and other buildings. But it was all in vain! But somewhere, they should be? Then, after the war, I realized that this was a planned операция по дезинформированию противника. Командование насыщало тылы на ложном направлении главного удара, которое было подброшено врагу. Фашисты могли check out this direction and popytatsyaopredelit concentration of forces and means. It was necessary to be vigilant and constantly scour neighbors rear of the troops on the frontlines.
the morning on August 20 at the front heard powerful rumblings artelleriyskoy cannonade. Then they decay, then the new force lumbered elsewhere. Snachchala gunfire could be heard from the area north of Tiraspol, near Dubosar. But the main blow was in store with a piece of land [Volume 1, page 175] was still free at the bank of the Dniester, in the area moldavkogo Kitskany village, located south of Tiraspol. Zamyl Tolbukhina fully justified - the blow was strong and unexpected for the enemy. In a breakthrough rushed tanks and mechanized infantry on vehicles. Began a rapid onset of the third and 2 of the First Ukrainian Front, which ended the defeat of German grupprirovok around Chisinau and Iasi. By the end of August 23 movable GROUPS Soviet troops were in the area of Bucharest - the capital of Romania. Kings Romanian, Mihai I, a cute young officer, my odnogodok, asked the world by overthrowing the forces inside the country who grovel before Hitler. Mihai I later received the Order of Stalin's "victory" - the only award with diamonds, which gave the king. On its merits were told curtly: "for muzhestvnny gesture, which led to the exit from the war Romania. "
Our battalion was immediately relocated to the outskirts of Tiraspol - Middle Farm. Tiraspol city, which is still Three days ago was purely a front city, now turned a deep rear. It began to establish in civic life. In the Middle of our farm unit were occupied by all buildings: one-story school - under the barracks, the stockyards, the office of former collective farms and private homes residents.
commandant ordered all city departments and chati who remained in the city and its suburbs to organize patrols around the clock. Our department will send the detail on sentry duty and patrolling the suburbs, according to the plan governor. In those days, Tiraspol was crowded with columns of prisoners of war the Germans and the Romanians seized after the encirclement of enemy troops near Chisinau.
Scheduled diluent I had to stand on guard for a battalion gaupvahty from 12 o'clock to 4 o'clock in the morning ...
