(331 words) The Great Patriotic War is the most important period in the history of our country. Many authors touch on this significant event in their works, demonstrating the courage and courage of people. One of the most famous military works was the story of B. Vasilyev, "And the dawns here are quiet."
Everyone must have heard this sad story about how five anti-aircraft gunners, led by foreman Vaskov, went into the forest to scout the situation. What did they feel at that moment when they learned that there were sixteen armed enemies next to them who were not going to stop in their path? It was impossible to retreat, it was necessary to act decisively, and not to let them go any further. The end was truly tragic, all the girls died, but they did their job.
Sonia Gurvich, an excellent pupil who always had a volume of poetry with her, demonstrated an example of true self-sacrifice, having run after the foreman who had left the pouch. Galya Chetvertak, a dreamer from the orphanage, struggled with the deep pain that war brought her every day, but she always followed orders. Lisa Brichkina, a village girl, died a terrible death in order to bring help and help her comrades as soon as possible. At the end of the work with the foreman there were two girls who entered into an open battle. Zhenya Komelkova, a true beauty, whose family was shot before her eyes, acted decisively under any circumstances, and in the final she was not taken aback either, pulling the Germans into the dense forest, saving her friend. She knows that she will not survive, but she does it anyway. Rita Osyanina also had personal scores, whose husband died on the second day of the war, leaving her alone with a small child. She always stubbornly went to her goal, bravely entering the battle. But she did not survive the last. Her wounds were so severe that she had to fire a bullet in her temple. The fate of the elder Vaskov, who saw the death of the girls and could not save them, also suffered a heavy fate.
These people showed an example of heroism. They showed self-sacrifice to prevent the Germans from passing further. And they coped with their task. This is the answer to the question why we won the war. Such events took place every day in that terrible period. People performed feats, fighting to the death for their homeland, and this led us to victory on May 9, 1945.
