SEMION ARIA, Guards Senior Sergeant
Story:The bridge collapsed at once and
without deliberation. The tank hit the ravine's slope with its front armor,
turned over with its tracks up, and slid to the bottom.
Interview: Tracer fire, when it starts from above, and you only see the luminescent line lower, lower, falling toward you, now it will reach your level and cut you in half. Well, in short, war is war, what is there to talk about.
Interview: My tank was hit on 19 April 1945 in Austria. A Tiger put a round straight through us. The projectile passed through the entire fighting compartment and then the engine compartment.
REM ULANOV, Lieutenant
Story 1: There was an 8-wheeled German gun-armed armoured car at the outskirts of the village, pinning our infantry down by its fire. Lt. Karginov told me to turn the SP to the right and our second shot blew the turret off the German armoured car.
Story 2: When one of the tanks from our group tried to pass a slow-moving truck, it collided head-on with an approaching truck, smashed it to pieces and killed the two people inside.
