Wow - can you imagine if he had been buried at the bottom of the pile? Now THAT'S something you can lose sleep over! :eek: :eek:
Thanks for sharing that fascinating story!
I once met a vet on the Moscow metro. He was a communications NCO who had been hit in the head with shrapnel during the fighting against the Finns in 1940. He too had been buried and had to dig his way out. Because of his head wound, he was discharged from the military and worked as an engineer in Moscow during the Patriotic War.
Just makes you wonder how many other folks were in the same situation...
