Russian actor Vasily Lanovoy: “In Europe, journalists said to my face: “What are you still celebrating your Victory? We‘re already over this war“
 
I asked them: “How many days did your countries resist Hitler?” They are silent.
 
Then I continued: “Poland was conquered in 28 days, and in the same 28 days in Stalingrad, the Germans were able to capture only a few houses. Denmark lasted exactly a day. And all of Europe was subdued in three months. And our soldiers had to liberate it. And at what cost ! A million lives of Soviet soldiers sacrificed for the liberation of Europeans from fascism.”
 
But Europe chose to forget about it!”
 
We won’t forget!
 
When they try to hush up our Victory, forget it, erase it from the memory of entire generations , it is useful to recall that in World War II they held out against the German troops:
 
Denmark – 6 hours;
 
Luxembourg – 1 day;
 
Holland – 5 days;
 
Yugoslavia – 11 days;
 
Belgium – 18 days;
 
Greece – 24 days;
 
Poland – 27 days;
 
France – 1 month and 12 days;
 
Norway – 2 months and 1 day.
 
Pavlov’s house in Stalingrad held out for 58 days. During the defense of Pavlov’s house, the defenders killed more Germans than they lost during the capture of Paris.
The Soviet Union held out for four years (1418 days) and ended the war in the enemy’s lair – Germany capitulated.
 
Everyone should remember this. We need to tell our children and grandchildren about this – so that they remember! Happy Great Victory Day!
