In the battle for Don Semyon Pavlovich was severely wounded and taken prisoner. A concentration camp for POWs was in the Kursk region. Hungry prisoners ate grass. He told me that the Nazis gave them a salted water in order to peel the skin easy from the body. The Nazis opened the production of gloves, bags, lampshades from human skin.

In 1943 he and his comrades heard the rumble of the approaching front. Soon Soviet aircraft flew and began to bombard the German positions. When another bombing he and his friends decided to escape from captivity. It was night. He and his comrades took refuge in a swamp. Many days and nights they tried to reach their front.

When they got to their positions, they were sent to a penal battalion. He performed the most difficult tasks. In 1944, for the successful execution of combat tasks Semyon Pavlovich was sent to the officer’s school. After finishing school he was in resistant, bloody battles again.
