"Once in winter 1942, the Germans brought a captured Russian officer to Berlin and placed him in OKV (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, OKW) on Victoria Strasse. The prisoner categorically refused to answer any questions that were relating to secrets of the Soviet Union's military. The Germans treated his behavior calmly and did not force him to answer the unwanted answers. In this position, the prisoner was held for a week, and then on one of the festive days took him out for a walk, to see Berlin and the life of the Germans at home.
Returning from a walk, a prisoner asked for paper and pencil and for several days in a row, wrote about his disappointment in the Soviet authorities, about the terrible living conditions of the peoples of the Soviet Union and about the lies that the Soviet authorities surrounded and confused their subjects."
From the memories of the owner and white-guards K.G. Kromiadi. [credit: E. Дашкова]
