.

... The tragic fall 41 th. Not yet started counter-offensive near Moscow ...

"In the field of Borodino we dug and dug and dug a huge anti-tank ditch ... Once at some halt at the edge, I climbed up on a stump and began to read our platoon was resting on the grass: "Tell me, uncle, for good reason ...". The words "Umremte train near Moscow, as our brothers die ..." - I spoke with the sole terrible intonation, which, perhaps, have read them always - with the intonation, from which I myself contracted throat ".

But life is a continued and sometimes bestowed amazing holidays. Well now forget the touching scene with a wild duck ...

Hunger, as we know, not my aunt, and fed the soldiers do not painful, it is important that there desperately want: as much whining, it happened, from the emptiness in the stomach. That such and such a time when the day was already on the outcome, and in the mouth or crumbs, sat on the shore of a quiet stream, eight people, among them the soldier Rozov.

"Suddenly we see, - said Victor Sergeevich, - no shirt, something in his hand to us to run one more our friend ...

- Look! - Winner exclaimed Boris. Maximizes the tunic, and it ... live wild duck ...

- I see: sitting, leaned over bush. I took off his shirt and hop! There is food! Fry.

Duck was a minor, a young. Turning his head from side to side, she looked at us wondering beady eyes ... She simply could not understand what these strange creatures surround her sweet and looked at her with such admiration ... All admired the beautiful. And a miracle happened, as in a good tale. Someone just said:

- Let go ... "

I raspyat on a hospital bed
