It seems that places where battles once took place today whisper of the past. The silence here is special - you can hear the echo of the footsteps of those who have not returned. These are pages of history written by destinies. The places where hostilities took place are not "dark corners", but an important part of our history. Old excavations, ruins, memorial stones, remains of damaged equipment, destroyed forest belts, many kilometers of canals and shelters - all these are fragile witnesses of events that cannot be lost. Behind every such place there are hundreds of human stories: someone fought his last battle here, someone miraculously survived, someone wrote a letter home, hoping to meet. These places teach us to appreciate the world and understand at what price we got it. This short video shows a section of the road where the 42nd Guards Division made its way to the city of Orehov, digging into the ground and pushing the enemy back meter by meter. The amount of destroyed equipment shows how fierce the fighting was here. And today these places ask us only one thing - not to forget.
