Met a « living witness& # 39; on the streets of Volgograd Battle of Stalingrad. I am telling everything in detail
More and more time separates us from the Great Victory of the Soviet people over Nazi Germany. Last year we celebrated the 75th anniversary of Victory, and this year we celebrate 78 years since the end of the Battle of Stalingrad .
Literally in these days of February (or to be precise on February 2, 1943), a radical change took place in the Great Patriotic War, after which the Germans could not recover, although they stubbornly resisted, leaving behind them scorched territories and destroyed cities …
Stalingrad was the least fortunate in this regard. Most of the civilian population was destroyed, and the housing stock, including industrial buildings, was completely destroyed.
After the war, Stalingrad was actually built in a short time again, turning it into a handsome city, a city of pride!
For obvious reasons, after so many years, there are no traces of war left in the city, and those that have survived can be counted on the fingers. And if everyone in Volgograd knows about the building of Gergardts mill, and visitors too, then the exhibit that will be discussed today is less known.

It is located in the very center of Volgograd (until 1961 Stalingrad), on the station square. This is a lamppost installed in the city before the war.
You wont notice him right away. And if not for the sign with the inscription «exhibit», I probably would not have paid attention to it at all.
The exhibit belongs to the Museum of DefenseExhibit belongs to the Museum of Defense But he survived and survived in that meat grinder. Perhaps by taking the blow, the pillar saved someones life, maybe not just one.
There are traces of direct hits of shells during the Battle of Stalingrad on the pillar Traces of direct hits of shells during the Battle of Stalingrad remain on the column the fiercest battles for the railway station were fought.
The pillar left traces of direct shell hits during the Battle of Stalingrad -points = «3»> A Russian soldier held out in those battles, crushing German nits on the Volga banks.
In memory of those tragic events, it was decided to leave the pillar as an exhibit. So if you are in Volgograd, be sure to come up to him and touch him, perhaps he will tell you the story of his life …

By the way, literally a few dozen steps from this place, in the basement of the Stalingrad department store, was the headquarters of the 6th German field army, where the commander of this army Field Marshal Paulus was captured.
