I understand the Czech language fairly decently considering I know Polish and Russian. Do you mind linking me to it?

Silent, I am also wondering if you can post more detailed videos of veterans like these speaking of their experiences during the war.

There has to be a longer video somewhere featuring these veterans in the video, yes?

Hey SS, thank you for posting this. This hits very close to home. I honestly cried a little bit, especially when the veteran tanker spoke receiving new tanks from the Soviets in Krosno – «the guy kissed the tank and told us “cherish it, these tanks were made by children.”»

This is my grandparent’s generation. My grandfather from my father’s side served in a T-34, my grandparents from my mother’s side worked in factories as children constructing these machines for the war.

Again, thank you for this and I am very proud to see this effort.
