As they fled down the street, your wife Nastia was killed by a German bullet. Elder daughter, Olia [Ol’ga], and little son, Vania [Ivan], broke down in tears, Nastia no longer heard them. . .” – From a letter to Private Galkin. — Take revenge on the German dogs! “German beasts even reached your home.
