I
used information from the following book
"In the Search of the By-Gone
Time"
(Book Three)
was published in Brest in 2009.
This is a book of 312 pages, profusely illustrated with
150 photos.
The central theme of Book 3 is the
opening days of the Soviet-German war, that broke out early in
the morning on June 22, 1941. It was the most unfortunate and
tragic period in the Soviet history, still it remains the most
irreconcilable and complex theme for study. As a result, it is
not much familiar to us or we know only some single facts.
What happened in June 1941? What was the
Center doing? What was going on in the Soviet troops,
stationed along the border before the war broke out? Why
Germany, that was not actually ready for the war, dared to
strike the USSR? What happened to the invincible legendary Red
Army, that was actually obliterated within some months, making
the Soviets build up a new army out of millions of civil
population? All the questions are still acute
today.
Our objective is to find answers to the
questions, to make an unbiased study of the defense of the
Brest Fortress, using statements of eyewitnesses and documents
on both sides: German and Russian, to comprehend the
reasons of the tragic situation in the Fortress after the war
outbreak, to provide new materials about the participants of
the history making days in Brest, the city at the border.
Main themes:
