Recently, along with the employees of the company "Avtodor" I went to a little trip to the land of Novgorod look at how work is underway on demining the area, as well as search and burial of the remains of soldiers killed during the Great Patriotic War, but devotees still ground .
These sites are associated with one of the most dramatic moments of World War II - Setting the 2nd Shock Army and the attempt of the Soviet troops withdraw from the deadly "bag" with a small neck at the Meat Bora.

The tragic events began on 7 January 1942, when the Volkhov Front went on the offensive on the 150-kilometer stretch. Before the Soviet troops was a global challenge - lifting of the blockade of Leningrad, Novgorod and the release of the destruction of all German forces east of Leningrad.
Thanks to support aircraft and artillery to break through the German defenses was only the 2nd Shock Army in the area of the Meat Bora on a narrow strip of the front. Breakthrough - a narrow corridor, which by February 1942 at the cost of bloody battles, extended to 12 kilometers. Army deepened to 40 kilometers into the occupied territories, creating a "bag". Then it stopped the offensive and expand it failed. The compounds of the army went on the defensive. I began to feel the lack of food and ammunition ...
In the area of basic losses 2nd Shock Army planned to build the seventh section of the expressway Moscow - St. Petersburg, and the route will pass directly through the epicenter of the fighting. To the road is not passed through the bones of the fallen, to May 1, 2013, work began on a thorough search of remaining in the land of the remains of military ammunition and their subsequent reburial. This is despite the fact that the search of the expedition ("Memory Watch") in this region have been going since 1988.
1. The German troops launched an offensive on March 15 and two days later the Soviet defenses had been broken. Encirclement closed in. But the bloody battles of the corridor did not stop - Soviet soldiers broke through the corridor width from 300 to 800 meters, but all attempts to keep him in the end failed. May 31, 1942 "bag" was completely closed barrier depth of one and a half kilometers. The boiler appeared variously estimated from 40 to 157 thousand people. Insufficient supply of the army by land completely stopped, but because of the lack of information from aircraft dumped loads of weapons and food often battered Germans.
Because of the terrible famine soldiers ate not only killed the horses, but also belts with harnesses. At the height of human growth of all the trees had been eaten bark. Also recorded cases of cannibalism.
... The entire corridor was littered with corpses in several layers. Soviet tanks went straight for him and stuck in the tracks a mess of human bodies. Bloody pieces scored trucks, cars skidded and tankers cleaned the tracks prefabricated iron hooks ...
The surviving soldiers of the endless bodies of dead comrades did parapet to somehow escape at shot through the territory. On the morning of June 25, 1942 the hall was closed permanently. After that, the Meat Bohr did not come from an environment of a single person.
2. At the beginning of 2013 the company "Avtodor", the customer construction of a new road, conducted an open tender for the right to carry out exploration work in the area. Work is carried out by "special ITC works" together with the Novgorod search expedition "Valley».
The longest and hardest part - combing the area in search of mounted soldiers, mass graves, and especially the sanitary burial. Horse soldiers lie deep under the ground, 10-15 cm.
3. Sanitary burial is usually done in the craters from shells. There dragged the dead and fell asleep.
4.
5. For the season 2013 on the territory of the future route explosive objects found in 1273 and raised 254 soldiers, including one German. While this portion of the length of 28 kilometers and 150 meters in width, which will be held future highway. In the present work to survey the surrounding areas.
6.
7. After the excavation of brotherly burial of bodies is determined by the number of pairs of leg bones, as they are best stored in the ground.
8.
9. Place of excavation mounted soldiers. As it turned out later - the officer. The photograph on the right is visible rifle, binoculars pieces, beneath the skull fragments, below the boots in a backpack and a hose mask.
10. The star on his cap.
11. The cartridges are broken up with your fingers.
12. Rifle.
13. You can often find a preserved coin. It is 5 cents in 1930 and 20 cents in '38.
14. It is much rarer across medallions fighters. Especially rare cases where the note is stored in medallions soldier, on which you can identify. Over 2013 of the 254 bodies found installed personality only 12 fighters.
15. A few of the things found by the search expedition "Valley".
16. Tools nurse.
17. Propaganda leaflets Germans.
18.
19. Meat Bor village and built a memorial chapel in memory of those killed in the war Soviet soldiers.
20. Since 1988, the cemetery was buried more than 31 200 soldiers.
21.
22. But such transport is used here in the spring, when the woods a lot of water.
