Museum "In memory of the unknown soldier" ww2

www.egcpv.ru In March 2006, the office of the City Center of Elektrostal patriotic education "opened its doors Memorial Museum" In memory of the Unknown Soldier "was created as a result of works" Electrostal urban search squads "in the Novgorod and Kaluga regions. The Museum contains unique exhibits of the Great Patriotic War, found in 11 years of search expeditions.
Why is a museum called the "memory of the Unknown Soldier? First of all, because the majority found during the search expeditions remains of Soviet soldiers still listed as "missing" and their names will remain forever unknown, but their heroism, their courage and heroism should not sink!
How did it happen that in our country, and throughout Europe so many graves "unknown soldier"? And why in the war years was such a large number of "missing"? Why?
If you open any published in our country, "the Book Memory ", then against the names of a large number of Soviet soldiers who never returned from World War II, written -" disappeared ". And not all those who were counted as killed, showing the place of burial. These are the men and officers of the Red Army, who were left lying where they were overtaken by death: in the collapse trenches, buried in trenches or craters, and sometimes in the open. In the fields, forests and swamps Russia still lie the remains of unknown soldiers who died in that war.
During the Great Patriotic War, often, after the battle of all the dead were buried in makeshift graves, details of which could then be inaccurate or lost, and sometimes absent altogether. Often been the case of the so-called "sanitary burial, when the corpses were dumped into the nearest crater or trench and lightly covered with some dirt, or zaravnivalis tanks. Quite often, especially in the beginning of the war, during the retreat, the dead never been able to make the battlefield. In many cases, the dead soldiers have covered with earth in the trenches, shell holes and dugouts, were drowned in the rivers and marshes, their bodies were not found after the battle.
The vast majority of these soldiers the number of "missing". There were also difficulties with the identification of the victims. The so-called "death" medallions "(black ebonite capsules with standard forms-liners), issued at the beginning of the war were far from all, and many of them are not filled - was considered a bad omen" privlechesh death itself. " In November 1942, because of the huge number of losses, on Stalin's orders, the medallions were abolished and replaced by Red Army books, which if not removed from the dead once, very quickly spoiled and rotted in the ground. Now, more than half a century, only a very few soldiers, whose remains are search engines, bring back names. The rest of them remains "unknown soldier" of the distant and terrible war ...
