The tragic summer of 1942
76
years have passed since the day of the Victory in the GreatPatriotic war, but
its echo till now doesn`t calm down in humans` souls. We haven`t the
right to forget the horror of that war. We haven`t the right to forget
those soldiers, who died for our bright future. We must remember
everybody and everything. We must come down the memory about one of the
most terrible war, which concerned every family, from father to son.
August 1, 1942 is a date that should never be forgotten by Yegorlychans. That
day the fascists began the months-long occupation of Yegorlyk district.
Already on July 17, massive airstrikes on the village began. First of all,
at the Ataman junction station. Then not only the district, but also the
entire Rostov region fell under the total offensive of the German fascist
troops. The Germans marched through the Don to the Caucasus (a group under
the command of Kleist) and to Stalingrad (the troops under the command of
Marshal Paulus).
It
was then that the grain elevator and the Ataman railway station were
significantly damaged, where a train with wounded Soviet soldiers and
civilians was bombed. In memory of these events, a monument has been erected
near the railway station.
And already on the 20th of July, units of the 56th, 12th, and 37th armies
were retreating through our village in great disorder, often mixing in small
units. Carts with various possessions were left along the streets and roads.
One of the last
lines of defense was the north-west of the district. Approximately on the
line of today's border between the Yegorlyk and Zernograd districts, the
thinned parts of the 353rd rifle division were kept. The situation in the
units was tragic. Everyone went to the trenches– nurses, clerks. Later they
were all buried by the local villagers of the Progress farm.
There
were local clashes on the outskirts of Yegorlykskaya. The occupation came to
the streets of the villages and farms with the first German soldiers.
The Germans behaved
differently, but in any case, they immediately tried to take food from the
population.
The first German
detachments appeared on motorcycles, - Lydia Andreyevna Getmanskaya, a
resident of Novoukrainka, recalled, - they entered the farm from the side of
the estuaries. The motorcyclists drove slowly down the street, constantly
looking around.
