      The answer is to those who shout that the Jews did not fight in the Second World War. All the peoples and nations of the USSR rose up against Nazi Germany.

    ... For the machine gunner of the 44th regiment (the commander of the regiment is Major Gavrilov, known from the books of the writer S.S.Smirnov) of the 42nd rifle division, stationed in the area of ​​the Brest fortress, Boris Faerstein, the war began at 3:45 am on June 22, 1941. "We were fired upon while still asleep ..." Fighting, bombing, indiscriminate retreat along the roads of Belarus, then a shell shock, and - captured. "It was not far from Slutsk and Bobruisk ..." At first, Boris called himself Ukrainian, but when they wanted to shoot him during the selection in Baranovichi, he called himself a Crimean Tatar, his knowledge of the language helped him in this. Began walking in agony. From Belarus, the prisoners were driven west, to Poland, then the "General Government of the Reich." There the prisoners were given registration plates. "I don't remember the letters, but the numbers -" 1345 ", as if before my eyes ..." In Germany they were put on a steamer going to Finland, then to Norway, where they were liberated by Soviet troops. For a long time Boris Faerstein was subjected to humiliating interrogations "How did you, a Jew, survive? .."

      Here it is necessary to emphasize about the "humiliation of interrogations" that were carried out by the liberators from the German concentration camp. Meanwhile, the person was allowed to live in the Crimea, and not in places not so far from the Arctic Circle. Awards found too

      Why "humiliating" interrogations? The usual practice, everyone passed the test, after all, many of those who served Hitler, then at the end and after the war tried to pass themselves off as prisoners of war, victims of circumstances, so to speak, and the fact that a Jew could not survive the Germans in captivity is probably not entirely true is known. that more than 10 thousand Jews were captured by the Red Army, who served in the Wehrmacht, albeit mainly in auxiliary positions, but half-breed Jews, German citizens served in combat positions and at various levels, from privates to division commanders, and fought very diligently, for example, Nazi propaganda portrayed Private Goldberg, a Jew by nationality, as a model soldier of the Wehrmacht.

    Liberal delirium.
    Less than 3% of those released are placed at the disposal of the NKVD and SMERSH. These are those traitors and traitors who tried to dissolve in the crowd of former prisoners of war and avoid punishment.
    Also remember about "The Last Battle of Major Pugachev" - the purest phantosmagoria. If not to say slander.
    For Varlam Shalamov, the prototype of Pugachev was a certain Tonkonogov - a Ukrainian, a former policeman who had never served in the Red Army. Of the 12 people in the runaway group, 10 are Ukrainians. Bendera, OUN, policemen ...

      In addition, they were not shot after the capture, although they killed the sentries! These raguli were given a time limit, they sat through them and "free, with a clear conscience!"

    Eternal memory to the Hero! Only can divide the heroes of the Second World War into Russian and not Russian! I have always respected such great heroes of the Great Patriotic War as the great Twice Hero DRAGUNSKY, and who dares to question his heroism is either a fool or our enemy! Indeed, among the Heroes of the Soviet Union, if I am not mistaken, almost 200 people are Jews and GLORY to them they are our people and we love and remember them!

    There are still people who can pass on to us, our children and grandchildren, the baton of courage and love for the Motherland. My father-in-law lives in Minsk, Semenov Alexander Yakovlevich born in 1921. He passed all the Patriotic War from Ukraine in 41 to Konigsberg at 45 in artillery in intelligence, a member of the defense of Stalingrad. Then another Japan.
    Full chest orders and medals. May God give him health, and we will help!

      Here I read the article and thought, after all, there were Jews who bravely fought and often sacrificed their lives for the USSR, its people, their family (in the end) against Nazism and evil.
      What now? See how their descendants degraded by the example of a local Israeli team that pours floods of lies and hatred into our country every day from morning to evening, and yet their grandfathers and fathers were born in the USSR.
      One word is sad.
