Where the warrior warrior is buried. The significance of the search for participants in the Second World War in the "Feat of People"

It should be noted that the search for the burial or the fighting path of his grandfather \\ great-grandfather is a long time, sometimes complicated, sometimes expensive. From the very beginning it will be necessary to be configured for a long painstaking work on the collection of information and its analysis.

Nevertheless, in general, this is a simple and understandable process.

Data collection

Specify the last name, first name, patronymic, year of birth, place of birth, place of residence before the war, military registration and enlistment office, who is called upon, address of relatives, place of service, military rank, party, if there are letters - find the field number in them, if we are looking for the deceased or missing Love - specify the date of the last known letter.

Read the clips carefully, they may contain important information: about the child's troops, about the military unit, any details of movements.

Roda troops, military unit - regiment, division, army - this information is sometimes the key to search, for example, burial

Primary search

The base is unique, no analogues in the world. About 14 million sheets of archival documents are scanned and posted. Base filling work continues. Therefore, do not be surprised if there is no data for your relative.

Here you can find all possible (given the fact that the base is filled) the mention of a person: the books of memory, reporting on losses, lists of buried, etc.

In the database there are almost all military burials, where fighters and the commanders of the Red Army are buried. From Murmansk to Crete.

Additional information can be obtained on the site "Feat of the People". There is information about awarding.

If you know about the awards of a relative, then from premium documents, you can find out information about the military unit, place of birth, etc. And of course about the exploits.

In addition, on the "feat of the people" there is a section of the geography of war. In this section, you can find information about the fighting path of the military unit.

If you want to know where your grandfather fought, who lived to the end of the war is the main tool. But only if he was awarded.

Memory books

In each region of the Soviet Union, including in Ukraine, a multi-volume "memory book" was published. The book contains information about those who have not returned from the war. But! Information at the time of the publication of the book, and the information that has placed the regional commissariat then. Some books were reprinted.

The "Book of Memory" is stored in a regional committee. Contact it is precisely at the site of the call Your relative ..

There is a simpler way to access the "Book of Memory" - contact the Council of Veterans. There, active grandparents will give you a "book" and still will come in tea.

Memory books can be electronic. Then the link to them should be sought on the sites of the Central Authorities of the Region.

Most of the memory books are digitized and are in the OBD "Memorial". In the "Advanced Search" section, search for these books.

=============================================================

After some time, you get an official certificate about the burial place.

It will be written in it:

1. Killed (indicating the burial site)

2. Killed (without specifying the burial site)

3. Died from the Russian Academy of Sciences (indicating the burial site)

4. Died from the Russian Academy of Sciences (without specifying the burial site)

5. Divided.

If the burial place is known, you make one more step:

After receiving the official certificate, you write a request to the Railroom of the burial site (depending on the accuracy of the instructions).

Head of the draft board Demyansky district of the Novgorod region

Please install the burial place _______ FULL NAME ______, check it in passports of burials on the basis of our information from us

1) notice of death ____________

2) OBD Memorial (document enumeration) _____________

Copies of documents I apply _____________

In the absence of data on the name in the database of the burial, please add the name to the grave passport and perpetuate his name

Copies do not need to complete, quite ordinary copies.

If a specific burial is specified in the certificate, then you are looking for it on PBD "Memorial" - advanced search, search for burials

If the burial place is unknown, we do the following:

Died from Ran.

Inquiry to Archive of Military Medical Documents of the Military Medical Museum of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (191180, S.-Petersburg, Lazaretnaya Per. D.2) and Removal Request in TsAMO with a request to clarify the place of deployment of the hospital during the death period of the wanted.

Very often, in the passport of military burials (if it is hospital) contain information about the hospital.

If there are any information about the hospital, then the Distribution Directory of the Hospitals of the Red Army in 1941-1945.

Killed or disappeared.

Here it begins the most interesting. You must know the part in which your grandfather fought. It will be in the certificate from TsAMO or in the United Memorial database. Your task is to establish the battlefield of the division \\ brigade \\ regiment. Not an army, namely divisions \\ brigades \\ regiment.

If there are letters and the field number is specified in them, then decipher this number.

If a part is known, then the memoirs, maps, reports on combat actions, and so on. You can search in Tsamo and reports, orders for the narrow period of time. It is quite real, for example, to establish the fate of a separate tank, and on aerial photographs suggest the place of his death, and after the polling of the local population, to establish a previously unknown grave. But this is a jewelry job, and most likely a local search team.

Burial

Sometimes, the military enlistment office cannot give a full picture, especially on the battles of 1941-1942. Maximum that will be able to give in this case - the burial map of the district. But there may be dozens there.

Keep in mind that the burial is enlarged. Complied companies were conducted in the country 2-3 times. Conducted now, the main reason is the transport inaccessibility and impossibility of care.

The history of burials can be traced on PBD "Memorial". Sometimes, lists of burials are laid out on official sites.

It may be so that the burial was transferred only on paper. And where is it really located - they all forgotten.

The fraternal grave, created in 1941 and noted in the documents, can simply "dissolve" on the area for 2 years of occupation. And maybe so that the desired person will be listed in several graves.

Museums.

School and local lore. No matter how strange it would seek someone, but school museums exist and actively work on specific units and parts. The most complete list of school military historical museums is located.

Search detachments

It is necessary to contact the search squad of your district \\ city, as well as in the search squad of the terrain where your relative died / disappeared.

On request in Yandex type "Demyansky search squad" is usually everything is also located.

If there is no information on the Internet - call the Department of Youth Affairs of the desired area and will report all available information on the search detachments of the region.

The resource "Memory of the People" was created so that each user could find out where his grandfathers or great-grandfathers were fought and what awards who took part in the Great Patriotic War. Within the framework of the project, such archival documentation was translated into digital form as premium sheets, orders, operational decompositions of the situation on the battlefield and other original written evidence of the events of those years. The site allows each user to find information about your relatives and create a personal archive from the documents submitted on the site. And, if you want to know how to perform with the help of the resource "Memory of the People", the search for participants in the world by the name of those who returned from the war, then read on.

Project "Memory of the People"

To start searching, open https://pamyat-naroda.ru/, enter the "Heroes of War" section or use the form on the main page (at the same time, we will still automatically perfect in the "Heroes of War"). We enter the memory of the people the requested data (surname, name, patronymic and year name, name, patronymic and year of birth) and press the Enter key on the keyboard or LKM on the word "find".


Search a fighter from the main page of the site

If there is little data and find a participant in hostilities did not work, click "clarify" and enter the information that we know:

  1. The place where the fighter was born.
  2. Assigned title.
  3. Place of service.
  4. Date when the participant dropped out of the part or died.
  5. The database entry ID.

In the case when these information is not enough, we deploy additional fields under the form of data entry and fill each line known information to us.


Enter additional information

In our case, only 4 documents were found. But it happens that the personal data of the Went participants coincides, and the search is hampered. Or there are a lot of documents, among which it is difficult to find what is needed. To simplify the search, the panel is provided over the results.


The panel with clarifications simplifies the search

If we need information about which part of the participant in the Second World War, which we are looking for, or what awards he had, then click on the desired section on the above panel and reduce the search for searches. When switching between data from the right in the "Sources of Information" block, there are places where information about the awards or combat activities of the Went participant takes place. Under the results of the search there is a list of all the awards to which the fighter is presented.

View and save documents

So, the search is completed, and we have several necessary results of the service of the people. How to save them not to lose valuable information and constantly have access to it? Opposite each of the documents there are icons, with which you can:

  1. View original.
  2. Download file to computer (scanned copy of an act, order or other document in JPG format).
  3. Add information about the participant of hostilities to your personal archive on the site "Memory of the People".

What can be done with documents

If the load on the resource is too high, access to the personal archive and the documents saved in it may be limited. Therefore, if information about the WWM participant is needed to study or work, it is better to save them to the folder on your computer.

Details of the heroes of the war on the memory of the people

Now let's see where more detailed information about the hero of war found on the surname is located on the resource "Memory of the People". Click on personal information of the participant of the Great Patriotic War. A page opens, where the names, name, patronymic and the rank of fighter are indicated.

Information about award

Also, there is information about the award that we chose in the search results: who awarded when the feat was performed, information about the place of birth and call the hero and other data, including the name of the archive, where the data is taken from. Frack page just below, we see a scanned document. This is a string in a premium list.

Switching between sections, we read:

  1. "Feat" - a detailed description of the feat, for which the fighter was presented to the award contained in a combat magazine or other documents reflected in the course of hostilities.
  2. "The first page of the order or Decision" is information about the front and the combat unit in which the participant of the Second World War, as well as on behalf of whom and for which he was awarded.
  3. "Premium Sheet" - a document, indicating awarding award, with personal data of a fighter and a brief sentence.

Row in a premium list

Documents from this page can be saved to a computer, scale in height and / or width and increase / decrease. It is also possible to view the originals of the submitted documents.

Hero fighting path / part

The resource "Memory of the People" allows us to track the combat path traveled by the hero and part in which he served. To do this, from the section "Documents on awarding" go to the "war path of the hero / part".


Hero fighting path / part

This page contains all parts in which the fighter served. Switching between them, we see its path and all the fighting in which he participated in the Great Body. Each of the coordinates of the military path means a specific battle. On the left in the table indicates the dates of operations attached to the coordinates on the map.

The military path is shown from the very beginning (from the call of the regional military registration and enlistment office) to the victorious end. The scale of the card can be increased in such a way that the outlines of the village will be visible, where there were battles or near which our army followed. Such an effect allows you to consider in detail the course of the war. Under the map there are symbols. Focusing on them, we understand what time the fighter we are looking for, lay in the hospital, received rewards, where it was born, from where it was called and much more. Also in the panel above the map you can add a higher part in which the connection was included, where he served as a war hero, and the subordinate. All these nuances allow you to recreate a more complete picture of the IAS events.

When you click on the concrete coordinate of the path in the upper right corner of the map, we see the plate containing the following information:

  1. The name of the part where the fighter served.
  2. Date of battle specified on the map.
  3. The number of documents indicating this event.

Description of the battle in the selected coordinate

After clicking on the number of documents found, the following page is loaded with written evidence of specific battles. When searching for the desired order / report / report, you can use the common list or narrow the search for by switching between partition names. That is, if we need only fighting magazines or cards / schemes, we click on the selected category and are looking for the document that is necessary, or we look at everything in turn in the memory of the people. You can also use a convenient filter located on the right of the document list. Removing either installing the checkboxes in the sections we need, we narrow the search for the search and more quickly look for information.

Click on the name of the report or scheme, magazine or order, we study the original evidence of those events written or drawn by the participants in the war. According to available information, we will find out, in which archive is now each of the documents, and who compiled them. From this page, you can keep in your personal archive on the site found written proof of the combat route of the participant of the War BOB by the name of those who returned from the war.

Thus, by performing the search for participants in the surname who came back from the war on the site "Memory of the People", it is possible not to simply get information about the awards of the hero, but also most fully (how much the available documents allow) to track the course of battles from the very place of the fighter's call.

Write in the comments under the article if you need additional information. Many people look at them and can assist wanted by the necessary information.

Many of our readers are interested in how to restore biographical information about their relatives - participants in the Great Patriotic War. Time inexorably loses us with close people, sometimes earlier than we were able to realize their merits. Sometimes our relatives go away in our childhood or at all before our birth. In addition, people who survived the war, as a rule, rarely talk about the past. But once we understand that to restore the biographies of our expensive relatives - it means to give the debt of their memory ...

Our guest is a famous historian -, doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of Universal History, Histories and Archeology of the Penza State University.

Sergey Vladislavovich, in recent years, interest in genealogy has increased markedly. Why do you think?

Belousov S.V.: Genealogy is one of the historical disciplines, which is engaged in the study and preparation of pedigree, clarify the origin of individual genera, families and individuals. Genealogy exercise opens up very broad prospects. The life of a person and family is inextricably linked with the history of society and the state. Man is a witness to various epoch events, and sometimes directly participant. Consequently, through the history of his own family, you can come to the study of the small homeland and the history of the Fatherland.

For many people, the Great Patriotic War becomes the starting point for genealogic search, which, no doubt, left its mark in the history of each family. The establishment of historical facts of participation of our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers in the events of this heroic time allows you to closely approach the formation of the growing generation of an active life position in the younger generation and on the example of the family history to instill patriotism.

Do you think patriots are born or becoming?

Belousov S.V.: The etymology of the words "patriotism" dates back to the Latin words "PATER" (father) and "Patria" (fatherland) and means the moral position of a person who is expressed in love for his homeland, pride for her, respect for its historical past and readiness for self-sacrifice in the name Her independence and freedoms.

Patriotism can not appear rapidly on the waist of the magic wand. Its formation is a long process in which all: the state, school, public organizations, the media should be involved. But it is impossible to forget that patriotism, understanding its concerns to the Fatherland and the people of its component, is brought up, first of all, in the family. Therefore, the importance of studying the history of the family, the appeal to the heroic past of our ancestors is difficult to overestimate.

How to establish the fate of a person who participated in the fighting or who has gone to the rear?

Belousov S.V.: The answer to this question is much more complicated than it may seem at first glance. The time is inexorably, and the events of that time continue to go further into the past. In many families, the real events of the war in which their ancestor took part, have long been intertwined with facts based on stories, memories, family legends, which leads to the emergence of myths, and therefore distortion of real reality. At the same time, information about a person, if preserved, then scattered on various archives. The genealogical search sometimes may take long years, and sometimes a happy chance can immediately reward you for your efforts.

How to start looking for information about relatives - contemporaries of the Great Patriotic War?

Belousov S.V.: Consider some aspects of the genealogical search. After all, starting to solve any search task, it is necessary to have a given algorithm of action. It is necessary to start studying with the establishment of the surname, name, patronymic, year and place of the birth of a person who participated in the war. Without these primary information, further search will be very difficult. Human residence on the eve of war, for example, will help find out what RVC he was called. Then everyone should poll the relatives to establish various facts from his life (for example, marital status, place of work, etc.), and familiarize yourself with the preserved documents, letters and photographs. Their study may also provide an important additional information about the person of interest to the researcher. For example, an image on a photograph in military uniform can help determine the generation of troops, the title and existing awards, and the field mail stamp on the letter is the number of the military unit. The main task at this stage is to find out the number of the military unit, in which the serviceman consisted of at least some time. This, without any doubt, will help in further search.

What kind of help in finding information about the combat path of the relative can the Internet can provide?

Belousov S.V.: Invaluable assistance in collecting primary information can be available, where there are military historical forums that are able to answer some of the researchers who are interested in, and there are various databases (for example, the Structure of the Red Army on the eve of the war, the table of conformity of the field mail numbers military units, deployment sites and numbers
evicoPosts). See, for example, forums and materials posted on Soldat.ru sites, Pobediteli.ru and others. When studying the history of the participation of grandfathers and great-grandfathers in the Great Patriotic War, if their destiny is related to the history of the Penza region, information posted on the site can be used. ""Nobody is forgotten, nothing is forgotten". The nationwide book of memory of the Penza region ", whose administrator is S.A. Davrankykin.
