At the beginning of the war in 1941 Valentine along with thousands of other young guys, put in a wagon and sent to the training of gunners in Omsk. And then started the road of death on the Leningrad front, where Valentin Biryukov took part in fierce battles and distinguished himself as an apt, the Siberian shooter and the gunner, for which he received awards.

Hospital

The Hospital was no different from the trenches of the front line, where were lice, dirt and putrid sickening smell, worms, flies, a loaf of bread from the grass on four soldiers and deadly fatigue. In such a situation people would be reluctant to grasp at straws. People in such conditions have increasingly turned to God.

To Bury people there is nobody there. Those who a little feel better, he had to help others, but the bodies were so many that the soldiers had to burn all the dead bodies of innocent people and his comrades. Foul-smelling smoke was everywhere, I had nowhere to go, heart and soul became numb and accustomed to death. The Germans bombed the 12 warehouses of supplies, the survivors had to collect the land on which were scattered the remains of food. The fat on its surface were filled with water to be able to shoot anything for food, but if the earth was sweet, she went for tea.
