During the Great Patriotic War, our country did everything to save children from suffering. Disadvantaged, lost relatives, starving, they were found by Soviet soldiers in destroyed cities and villages. They warmed them up near camp kitchens, fed them with front-line rations. Some managed to stay in regiments and divisions ..
From 1941 to 1945, several tens of thousands of minor children took part in the hostilities.
They didn't have time for childhood, they didn't have years to grow up. They grew up by the minute, because the war is not a child's face ..
In May 1970, the Kiev city organization of young participants in the Great Patriotic War was created. It was headed by Petr Alekseevich FilonEnko. It was he who, in 1944, repeated the feat of Alexander Matrosov, covering the muzzle of an enemy machine gun with his body.
This injury cost the teenager several operations and six months of hospitals. And no wonder: after all, the boy was pierced through as many as 12 bullets. After the boy's rehabilitation, comrades-in-arms jokingly gave their son of the regiment the nickname Darned. But he knew why he was heroically going to his death.
But let's talk about everything in order ...
Petya FilonEnko as a kid ran away from home to the front and went through the whole War!
- I was obviously going to my death. And he knew what I was going for. The Germans carved a star on my 18-year-old sister, pierced her chest with ramrods, she shouted - they knocked out her cheekbones. Mother rushed to protect her, and they and mother with a butt on the head, she fell. Then my younger sister was in her arms. I have something to hate fascists for, says Petr Alekseevich.
In the fall of 1941, the Germans approached the Lozovsky district, Kharkov region. Petya was only 11 when he learned what bombing is. His father and older brothers had fought for a long time and the boy decided that he was already old enough to take up arms and fight for his homeland. Despite his mother's pleas, he rushed after the retreating Red Army soldiers and clung to the ammunition wagon.
- To make it more convincing, Petya added himself two years - he lied that he was already 13 years old. The soldiers did not want to take me, they joked that there was no semolina. But I asked very much, and I was allowed to stay, recalls Pyotr Alekseevich.
The insolence and courage of the kid was appreciated by the commander of the reconnaissance group. Pulled up, taught a soldier's business. But soldiers are no longer divided into adults and children. While walking through the war, he was thrown to the rear of the Germans seven times. And every time I managed to return.
Fate saved the boy and when, on the Stalingrad direction near the village of PopOvka, he was surrounded and captured. The enemy also did not divide the soldiers by age. When they were taken out to be shot, Peter was saved by an unknown Red Army soldier, who at the last moment covered him with himself.
- I was also hooked by a bullet, but I managed to get out. And a local resident, a kind woman, came out, - the veteran recalls ..
On July 16, 1943, when Pyotr FilonEnko fought as part of a tank brigade, they came under a terrible bombardment! Rescuing the commander from the bomb, Peter pushed him into the trench and took upon himself a hail of fragments.
“It was later that I found out that seven of them entered me,” recalls Pyotr Alekseevich. - And then, I remember, the commander shouted: "Run to the paramedic!" And the paramedic is dead ... And then I lost consciousness.
Friends said that then 14 people were put in a mass grave. And already they began to fall asleep with earth, when suddenly someone saw that a bloody bubble was inflating under Peter's nose. Dig it up! He's alive! " In the medical unit, nurse Valya donated her blood for the boy. And he survived again!
The second click of death on the nose of Peter FilonEnco was in June 1944, when our troops were on the offensive.
There was a fight for the Gomel - Bobruisk track. The infantrymen could not get through the wall of fire that was poured over us from the enemy pillbox. I jumped off the armored personnel carrier, made my way through the bushes and with all my strength struck with my shoulder in the red-hot muzzle of the machine gun. 12 bullets through the veteran recalls. Peter was then only 14 years old. They decided to bury the little hero, who repeated the feat of Alexander Matrosov, like an officer, in a coffin. They had already dug a hole, and they began to hammer nails into the lid, when faint wheezing was heard from the domino. Then - 12 operations and six months of rehabilitation in a hospital in TskhaltUbo.
