You can see in all directions, all the teams stopped, most drivers staff and drivers are standing in the way, craned his neck to the north west dizzy watching the emergence of wonders. In the cold winter brilliant, dazzling snow and the sun radiation to shake people's eyes almost blind, two Road, a huge rainbow appeared, as in the sky like a mirror symmetry to each other. In this moment, there must be thousands of people praise the wonders within a moment forget about the war actually.
only one unit left in Moshaisk In the packed baggage. the search business has been moved to Ssytschewka, at 21, where the temperature is 45 degrees below zero to minus 48 degrees, in Georgette's husband smashed the German lines a large number of Russian divisions of the attack began. attack continued until February , began in the winter fighting Seoul mm hot husband in Russia one of the most decisive battle. abandoned headquarters next to the field hospital, a huge black brick building.
