Go Soviet Union! My Grandfather fought in 1st Belorussian Front , three times shot he managed to get to Poland. Every little and big country in Soviet Union (beginning from Ukraine ending with Turkmenistan) were sanding their sons to war.

"This calibration always will be with tears on our eyes".

Ironically , my another (Rumanian) grandfather was marching with Nazis, he was killed in 1942 in Moldova by Russians. Rest in peace solders, nothing matters now.
