Vera Nikitina (first) was a child when the blockade started. Nearly all her family was lost to the stranglehold that the Nazi forces had on the city. "I don't want to remember any of it, even to speak of it. I want to live the rest of my life in peace and see only the good in life." Boris Smirnov (second) says, "We were all full of Soviet patriotism." In October 1944, the 93-year-old's platoon was surrounded and callously gunned down. "I saw the laughing German soldiers ... we were rushing at them screaming; they were laughing and waving their hats. My friends were falling all around me." Maria Rokhlina (last), 95, was a Soviet combat medic who became trapped in a tractor factory during the siege of Stalingrad. She was part a group hugged each other for warmth. "We took an oath to never forget those we stood hugging." #SeigeOfLeningrad #Stalingrad #WWII #TheLastVoicesOfWWII #NatGeo Check out Nat Geo's link in bio for more on this story.」5月21日 23時36分
