– My father went to Berlin. After the war he got married. He was a calm person, but when something went wrong somewhere, he could flare up, he had a cool character. Here he already has two granddaughters and a great-granddaughter, there are two more boys, ”Tatyana Ivanovna shared.
According to the recollections of his daughter, the father tried not to tell anything that happened at the front. There was a case when letters and news from the front did not come for a long time. Relatives began to think that he had died. But, fortunately, he was alive – he was wounded in the head. He recovered and further rushed into battle, reaching Berlin.
