and everything will be fine. well, please, shut up, run, i ask you. nukakal

november 12, 1947, sevastopol house of officers of the black sea fleet 19:00 you gave the prosecutor,

the order to burn villages and create dead zones in the crimea yes, it was my order on your order a punitive expedition was carried out in the kerch quarries. you knew that gases were used against soviet citizens in the quarries, it’s true that a special team was sent from berlin. i was a soldier, and war is always fraught. in the autumn of 47 sevastopol nazis accused of crimes against the people of crimea , the inhabitants of the city wiped off the face of the earth by the war had the right to do so.

on may 7, 1944, the operation to liberate crimea has been going on for exactly a month. hitler considers crimea the key to the balkans. wehrmacht soldiers are ordered to stand to the end. the soviet army is extended the main goal of sevastopol . in may 1944 , it was decided not to take the city at any cost. this land was already richly watered with blood. our soldiers were eager to take revenge on the nazis for everything the defeat of the first years of the war, as they wrote, then

leaflets. we must tear the enemy's throat and throw him into the sea. the impregnable breather mountain of the germans, called it a stone front, was taken by the soviet troops, the navigator later, in the textbooks of military art, this operation was called one of the most effective. in november 1959, a diorama dedicated to this assault opens on sapun mountain. historians compared it with the battles on the volga , only during the battle of stalingrad we defended ourselves, and in sevastopol we advanced, each the hero in the foreground of the canvas of the diorama, not a fictional, but a real person, and behind each real feat hero of the soviet union ilya polyakakhin will be one of the first to break through to the crest of the

sapura, and after the war he will pose as an artist in grekov's studio a girl in a naval uniform san instructor zhenya deryugina in five on may 44, she carried 80 wounded from the battlefield and was killed by a sniper. it’s hard to believe now, but in may 44 no one forced these people to sacrifice themselves , they were driven by the thirst for victory and hatred for the enemy our soldiers to the nazis for sevastopol had a special account. during the years of occupation, the fascists in crimea were known to be monstrous, and only in the forty-seventh did their scale become clear. in november of the forty-seventh year , a trial began in sevastopol, equal to

which there were not yet 42 witnesses in 20 volumes of a criminal case in the soviet union. later it was called sevastopol nuremberg. the court session was held here on lenin street in the old building of the house of officers of the black sea fleet. now none of the witnesses who spoke at this the process did not survive, but transcripts, hearings, newspaper documents and photographs were preserved. vasily lanovoy himself survived the german occupation as a child. in our film, witnesses at the trial will speak in his voice. in 1994, the newspaper of the black sea fleet, the flag of rodina, published daily reports on the progress of the trial, a witness, a seventy-five-year-old priest from evpatoria, ivan uleskov, took

people to the dubki grove, put them on the rails, poured flammable liquid and tar on them, and then set fire to it. in this way, 1,200 people were burned and shot. soviet troops were preparing to break through to sevastopol and put an end to the german occupation, the commander of the fourth ukrainian front, fyodor tolpukhin, is regrouping troops and pulling up the german valley tanks and artillery. sapun mountain covers the city from the southeast. these are several lines of fortified defense. there is only one question. how to take concrete pillboxes and not cover them with the bodies of soldiers? there were about 70 pillboxes of exotic

long-term firing points and for each advancing soviet soldier, the enemy defenses could fire up to 100 bullets per minute. for assault groups in the rear, fortification models were made an exact copy of those built by the germans. on sapun mountain, each young soldier was introduced to an experienced operation headquarters who worked around the clock, the commander of the fifty-first army. she had to go on the attack. the first general yakov cruiser traveled day and night on his weight along the front line. naturally swarthy, he became completely black and thin. well, here is a description of this training, but this training has yielded results. now ivan ivanovich podek 95, and in the forty-fourth he the 22-year-old battalion commander under his command of 200 experienced fighters took risks that he was not going to

with such a garage. i am the fortress. this is a fortress, a real fortress. many people say why it was impossible to trap pipes right off the bat, because there were concrete structures all around, even the trenches were made of concrete. now the balaklava valley is solid vineyards, forty-fourth here there were wooden crosses everywhere. the siege of sevastopol 2 years earlier turned to the german troops with great losses in our memories. the generals wrote from the german regilo crosses to in the eyes of sevastopol there were a lot of german cemetery in the german army mass graves were not every soldier was buried in a separate grave. he had his own personal casco cross and a plaque in november 41, the commander of the german troops, erich von weinstein, a general who

had a reputation in the rail as an excellent strict, developed a plan for the occupation of france, tried to break through to the city by a short route. through sapun mountain, but failed. the report sent an insert of hitler, manstein wrote to take sevastopol from the side of the breather bark. impossible only in july, the forty-second germans managed to enter the city. rudiger von manstein, the son of a field marshal will not follow in his father's footsteps. he will become a modest employee of the purchasing department of siemens corporation, manstein jr. recalls that for his father the battle of sevastopol was a difficult test to attack the sapunkora not from the southeast, but from the more fortified north side. it was a blitz operation, which was carried out

completely unexpectedly for the soviet troops, the germans began an assault, the entire point of the mountain, passing on boats and attacking the information, that is, the capture took place from the side, and not from the front. in those years, manstein’s military talent was appreciated not only by hitler, but also by moscow’s western allies in january 44, the american time magazine was published with a portrait of the field marshal on the cover, but in 1944 in the crimea, the german troops were commanded not by manstein, but by general eirvinke. he was one of those who escaped from the cauldron near stalingrad hitler would not let him surrender, sevastopol it was a matter of life and death enoki completely trusted the experience of manstein, the russians did not crazy they will not dare to storm the mountain sapun. but german logic is not for russians every day

delay - this is a new victim among the civilian population in sevastopol nuremberg, occupied in sevastopol, the house of officers of the black sea fleet on november 18, 1947, witness mikhail kalugin, the germans shot his entire family. i was at the dig. at the state farm, what i saw there defies description among the many corpses. i noticed one woman who was holding tightly to her child wrapped in blankets, when i unfolded the blanket, i saw a dead girl with a pacifier in her mouth. forty-fourth for soviet soldiers and officers, sevastopol is not only a strategic line, it is a matter of honor, to understand

why it is necessary to return 2 years ago. that year, the red army fought desperately for everyone. the germans took the city to the blockade of leningrad and the crimea tied the hands of the nazis in sevastopol. they pulled together significant forces of the wehrmacht, but stalin ordered the soviet troops to stand to the death talking about evacuation, misla, if uh, sevastopol was evacuated in the spring of forty-two, for example, as there was a possibility of evacuation even during a period of temporary calm, then the entire group that stood near sevastopol at that time, that is, the eleventh german army, thinks that if this figure is eighty percent of all heavy artillery, wehrmacht, heavy superheavy eighty percent. you are already on the eve of order

227, not a step back, that is, the situation developed to add up catastrophic, in principle, for the entire soviet union there was such a moment of truth and freeing up the hands of such a powerful group at that moment, it was like death. she had to be kept clinging to her and knitting her until her last breath. mikhail chaly, together with his brother alexei, restore the legendary 35th coastal battery in the forty-second year 35 and the 30th battery of the sevastopol defensive region, the germans, they were called ford maxim gorky one and maxim gorky 2 entered into an artillery duel with the german giants the largest cannon ever created humanity. the dora system, armed weight 1.350 t, barrel length 32 m, its seven-ton projectile could penetrate the layer

reinforced concrete, 7 m thick, on the morning of june 5, the forty- second year, the first shot was fired and it caused the effect of a mini earthquake for 3 km, according to eyewitnesses, dishes bounced, but all this did not make any sense out of almost 200 shots, only a few shells hit the array of 35 batteries, without causing much damage, general manstein, admitted the fool, the greatest technical creation, however, militarily, they are absolutely useless more. the roads were not used by the germans. sevastopol did not surrender, its defenders fought desperately, 250 days,

the germans tried to take the city three times on july 4, when they were finally able to enter sevastopol at the headquarters of the army group, the south was gone, reports that ended with the phrase, the city of sevastopol turned into ruins some say that there are seven houses left undestroyed in sevastopol others say, 9 thirds say three. well, that is , nothing remained of sevastopol; for the second time in its history, it was completely swept off the face of the earth. moreover, i will say, so the percentage of buildings destroyed in sevastopol was somewhat higher than the percentage of buildings destroyed in hiroshima after the nuclear bombing. there, 96% of the residential background is here 908. from the soviet inform hero on july 3, 42, the soviet

information bureau announced the surrender of the legendary city, sevastopol was left by the soviet troops, but the defense of sevastopol will go down in the history of the patriotic war of the soviet union as one of its brightest pages and became one of the most tragic. three days before, an event took place in the dungeons of the 35th battery, which is still being argued about. june 30 at 19:30 commander of the black sea fleet and the sevastopol defensive area philip oktyabrsky at a meeting of the military council, he announces that the headquarters allows the evacuation of responsible employees for himself. oktyabrsky appoints the senior commander of the 109th rifle division

, general novikov, who at that moment led the defense of the balaclava. and after that, oktyabrsky and the commander of the primorsky army did not come to the meeting. general petrov is leaving the thirty-fifth battery. in fact, philip oktyabrsky was wearing a raincoat to hide his shoulder straps, and that's why they led him along the corridor to the airfield. there he was waiting for a dougly large land, and in the opposite direction they led ivan petrov , commander of the primorsky army 27 m underground, this corridor 400 m long. leads to the pier ivan petrov left sevastopol on the last submarine . on the night of july 2, at 0:00:36, on novikov’s personal order, the first tower of the 35th battery was mushroomed and stocked, after 2 hours the

second tower was also blown up. while the inserts had already come to terms with the loss of the city, tens of thousands of people continued to fight and die on the rocks. the germans burned cape chersonese with flamethrowers, threw grenades and poisoned them gas. everything happened here, that is, they fought here. there were so-called attacks of the dead, when germans , including tanks, simply smoked with bayonets, because the issue was already fought. here, you just know how it is. the last time to tear the throat of the enemy here was the issue of captivity. there were mass suicides here, when people simply committed suicide so as not to get caught. well, everything was. from the memoirs of the ole mechanic vladimir focuses they tried to break through to the partisans, but there were no weapons, they went under the rocks in the area of ​​​​the airfield. there there were many wounded, groans, screams, huge masses of

people, waiting for the ships, but then they realized that we were left to the mercy of fate, terribly tormented by hunger, but especially thirst drank sea water and diluted it with sugar. and the october evacuation request sent an insert separately, mentioning himself in the besieged sevastopol, he could either shoot himself or be captured by the germans on the other side of the admiral as a naval man. there was no need to explain who should be the last to leave the sinking ship. forgive him this childhood, and could not. he, of course, did not commit any criminal offense. he requested permission. as a result, he received it, and he evacuated it, it cannot be said that it was a model of selflessness there, there was sacrifice and readiness to share the fate of the commander with his subordinates, having already evacuated already

safe in novorossiysk, he reported telephone messages that there were combat-ready people left, there are about 5,000 people there. well, in our pantheon, the names of more than 40,000 of those who remained here have already been found. and by e calculation we here it was order. 10,000 daughters of admiral rimmi, filippovne oktyabrskaya for 90 years, she served as a translator from turkish in the intelligence of the black sea fleet, but she had never been to turkey all her life. this woman defended her father. she still says that he had no other choice then. there was such a forehead. everyone was waiting for the planes to arrive, but somewhere here the germans were already shelling the airfield, and there were a lot of people who wanted to get on this same plane, there were a lot of people, and even landing on planes was very it’s hard and dad, then somehow you understand why

i stayed, because not to meet, well, with the people who stayed. he knew they couldn't . for him. this is a lifelong tragedy . general novikov left to command the defense of sevastopol was captured after 2 days the germans offered him cooperation, but he refused novikov was sent to a concentration camp, where he organized a resistance group for which he was shot. and in the occupied sevastopol , massacres began against civilians sevastopol nuremberg house of officers the witness of the black sea fleet, mironova , who works as a nurse in the sevastopol maternity hospital , tells the court how the germans dealt with her son. vova was a tall and strong guy.

he graduated from nine classes on august 24, forty-two . i sent him to the council to get a coupon for water, water was given only the ceiling, the son left and did not return. he was later hanged along with two other teenagers on pushkinskaya street for undermining the combat capability of the german army by stealing bicycles. sevastopol was occupied for almost two years on the eve of the arrival of the germans in the crimea, an underground and a partisan movement were organized. bases for 36 detachments were prepared in advance. the total number of about five to six thousand people recruited volunteers dug dugouts , communication was established, products were harvested at the last moment with the help of the crimean tatars and as soon as the

germans came here. immediately, these bases were issued. and the local population, together with the invaders, participated in the looting of these partisan bases, and as a result, the partisans in the first month in november forty the first year lost up to 605% of the total procured food weapons ammunition clothing. well , everything that was noticeable in the forest and after that already in december of the forty-first year of the partisan. their detachments began to voice the first two winters. crimean partisans fought. not so much with the germans. how many combat losses with hunger were less than starvation deaths. in the crimean villages, it was impossible even to leave the wounded , they were immediately handed over to the germans. until the end of the war three winters 900 days never again a single wounded local population.
