Sopka Geroyev

A place worth visiting for a number of reasons. This is the memory of relatives and friends who did not come from the war, like one of my grandfathers, whom I never saw in my life, this is history. The height where the memorial complex is built is part of a gigantic engineering structure that the Nazis built, known as the Blue Line. It was here that her breakthrough was carried out with enormous difficulties and human losses. According to some sources, about 16 thousand were killed by ours. This is more of a rifle division. The Nazis also fought to the death. At present, burials of the remains of our soldiers discovered by the "search engines" continue. It is impressive when you read that 225 people are buried, and only ONE of them is installed on a surname basis! The memorial itself needs reconstruction: something is jammed, but something needs to be completed. People go, even families with children. It's great! Memory is needed alive ..
