He also returned from the battlefield

In October last year, near the town of Rzhev was found crashed in 1942, the Yak-1. The pilot remained in the aircraft. Search engines have started a long work with archival documents, but with their help you can identify the pilot.

And, most recently, the search failed. After 68 years, Lieutenant Vasily Naumenko, in the personal file which it was stated: "Do not come back from a mission," he returned from his last fight ...

In the autumn watch the memory of 2009, which took place in the area of ​​Rzhev Tver Region, the Moscow club search "Front-line roads" were found the remains of the Soviet pilot and the plane crashed Yak-1. Number of units have been rewritten aircraft that became the starting point for work in CAMD (Central Archive of the Ministry of Defence). Jobs in the archive took almost half a year. As a result, it was possible to establish the identity of the pilot:

Basil T. Naumenko. Born in Krasnodar Krai Temryuk 22.12.1918g. Residing at the address: ul. On March 8, Building 3, apt.9, a member of the Young Communist League in 1935.



He was only 24 years old.

It became known about a combat mission 68 years ago, August 10, 1942 link Yak-1iz ended 32 Fighter Regiment, 201 Fighter Air Division Junior Lieutenant Naumenko Vasily Kalashnikov took off from the airfield Vatulino Moscow region, on the cover of heavy bombers of the 204 Bomber Air Division . Work on the site was to Rzhev, tine & w / d at the site spans Osugi - Rzhev.
Back to the task, Vasily Naumenko was not meant to.

Now, searchers are searching for relatives Vasily Kalashnikov.

And for that, so you can imagine how difficult the work of the fallen plane, I would like to show you some photos that I managed to do in 2006, during a search combining "Funeral Feast". In the fall, the engine of the aircraft hit the ground 5-6 meters. That is, in order to get to the front, we have to dig a hole to a depth of 7 meters.



PS: Starting this week, many people search the club began spring Memory Watch, which will last until May 9. Again, it is found not a huge amount of buried soldiers of the Soviet Army, which we owe to so many. And during the celebration of Victory, which certainly is a truly national holiday for any normal citizen of our country, we must not forget about those soldiers that are still lying on the battlefield.
It is certainly a shame. Force alone search engine enthusiasts, this shameful situation is not resolved. There need serious resources and perhaps this work should be done by the national project.
These are our soldiers and our history.
