One against fifty WW2
🔻Dmitry Ovcharenko encountered fifty Wehrmacht soldiers in armored vehicles. They disarmed him and the interrogation began right on the road. The officer asked the driver to show what he was carrying, and he began to remove the awning. Dmitry carried an ax with him in the cart. While the Germans were inspecting the boxes of cartridges and shells, the Red Army soldier grabbed an ax and hit the nearest officer on the head with it. In a few seconds he managed to throw three grenades at the Germans who were located at a distance. As a result, almost two dozen were dead and there was panic in the enemy camp.
🔻Several dozen Wehrmacht soldiers, having lost their commander and seeing a man with an ax rushing towards them in a rage, jumped into cars and drove away. But Dmitry still managed to catch up with one of them - and hacked him to death with an ax.
🔻The story looked quite fantastic, but the documents, weapons, corpses spoke for themselves.

In 1942, Kostya Feoktistov at the age of sixteen, escaped to the front, joined reconnaissance missions disguised as an ordinary boy, and brought back invaluable information about the enemy's location.
🔻During one mission, he was captured by a German patrol. An SS officer took Kostya to a pit, shooting him in the head.
🔻The Nazis assumed the boy was dead and left. However, Kostya regained consciousness after a while, waited for darkness, and crossed the river to his own side, despite his severe injury.
🔻The bullet, as it turned out later, had passed through his chin and neck, exiting the other side.
🔻Kostya Feoktistov recovered, finished school and the Bauman Moscow State Technical University.
🔻Seven years later, the young and talented engineer Feoktistov was already drawing blueprints for spacecraft, and in 1964, he flew into space on a ship of his own design, without a spacesuit.

During the blockade Lenochka was evacuated from Leningrad.
🔻She lost her whole family: her mother, grandmother, and elder brother.
🔻A special team of girls found her. They went from apartment to apartment, looking for children who had lost their parents or were close to death.
🔻She didn't want to eat anymore. And she was silent. They thought Lenochka was going to die. Many children had already died during the evacuation; they were so weak, they had no strength to live and eat.
🔻And a one-legged stoker, a front-line soldier named Kolya, made a doll from an old towel. And he gave it to Lenochka, telling her that she was now the doll's mother.
🔻Lenochka suddenly grabbed the doll and hugged it. And she started to rock it with her thin hands. And during lunch, she fed the doll porridge. And she ate the porridge herself.
🔻The girl survived. Because she couldn't die, she had to take care of the doll.
🔻This girl became a nurse and lived a long life.
