Medal of Odessa defense

16th, 1941 the Nazi's entered in my city Odessa and only by April 10th, 1944 Odessa had been liberated.

Today my city is beautiful and solar.
We have many memorials and monuments to heroes of war.

Such as:
Partisans catacombs under city. Some of finds there

Thanks for sharing all of this. To be honest, I knew nothing of Odessa prior to you mentioning it the other day with your video. I definitely was not aware of how important the city was when resisting the Nazi movements into Russia.

Pavel · May 2007

hm..yes...maybe Odessa is not so important in this war like Sevastopol or Leningrad (Petersburg)...but, yes it's one of heroes city.

and I just wished to tell about my city:)

Fuse · May 2007

I'm from St. Petersburg, a truly beautiful city still bearing the marks of the 900 day German blockade of WWII..

Remarkably they still didnt manage to siege the city..

Living in a place that is a museum in itself is quite inspirational and rewarding.

Wahlgren · May 2007

Very nice pictures if I can say so myself

conte · May 2007

Fuse, you're russian?

Fuse · May 2007

yep, was born there, lived there for 12 years ..

McIlroy · May 2007

Lets thank who is really responsible for ending the war

hawken · May 2007

oh dear, here we go...

(McIlroy, if you really think the USA had anything to do with the Russian part of WW2, could explain to us what that was?)

Pavel · May 2007

Yes...thank you McIlroy...

conte · May 2007

as you guys can see, in games like Call of duty 1/2/3
usa won ww2.

Fuse · May 2007

God Bless America, our saviours

conte · May 2007

america is not only our saviours.
Iraq should say "god bless usa!" too!

OK, as much as I would rather not, I am going to close this thread because some people have absolutely zero respect for anything except themselves.

I am very sorry Pavel. I hope you were able to enjoy the holiday and the vets got the proper respect they deserve instead of what you got here.
