Memoires of Zinkov residents - participants of the GPW

[Al-muell]

In general - many of the memoires are rather sketchy - Like: "I was born on... I wads called for the service on... and returned home in... Now I am retired".

But there are also some more interesting - like descriptionof the crossing of a desert in Mongolia or about life in a radiooperator's school - were soldiers were begging to be sent to the frontline to avoid death of starvation.

Even though some are "I have to thank our Party for it'sbrilliant leadership of our Army and Country", some are more honest, and one of the oficers openly criticises the postwar rulers of the Soviet Union.

As the time allows, I will probably be posting some of them translated.
