Re: Несколько недавних...

>"катастрофа" -- это скромно? А как надо было?

Надо было подробнее, что он там во время катастрофы делал, как и про другие эпизоды было.


Кстати, во второй ссылке содержится любопытное утверждение о взятии британских пленных, освобожденных КА в "заложники", пока британцы не передадут сдавшихся им в плен граждан СССР, воевавших на стороне третьего рейха:

Both of them were released from their camp in May 1945, only to be turned into hostages by the Russians. The Russians would not send them, and thousands like them, back to the British until they had been sent their own Russian PoWs captured by the Germans. The real reason that they were held by the Russians was the fact that they were demanding that all the Russians who fought for Hitler be sent back. Until this was done the British PoWs would have to remain with the Russians, who would look after them and when transport was available they would be able to go home. By late 1945, after being moved from one place to the other all over Europe, their transport was made available, their feet, they had to walk home. How long it took them to make their way to the British lines is anyone’s guess. Both only managed to get home in 1946, then both John and David spent some time in a convalescent hospital before returning to Caithness.
