BogMonster Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I'm sorry, but I don't know how to place photos here. If you click "Add reply" rather than the fast reply, then you can attach them to the reply, if you click the Browse button and select what you want then click Upload and they will upload to the forum. It is preferred if you try and keep them to 800x600 size so they don't take up too much space though, there is a Windows XP Image Resizer freely available to do this job, or any paint program like Paint Shop Pro can do it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexander Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 The trip has been organized by May, 9th and devoted to memory of victims on Sinyavino hills, during the Second world war. Here a brief information about these places. " Sinyavino hills" - it's area around of settlement Sinyavino, a height up to 50 m above sea level in Southern Priladoje where per 1941-1944 the most severe fights during fight for Leningrad were conducted. The victory over these fights guaranteed to the party which has grasped heights, an opportunity to supervise extensive territory against Ladoga lake in the north up to the river Mgi in the south. Also area Sinjavino have selected a place of a concentration of forces for break of Blockade as it there was a territory where the distance between fronts has appeared. Fights for Sinyavino hills of steel of one of the most tragical pages of fight for Leningrad. After an output of German armies to Ladoga in September, 1941 of height have appeared in hands of the enemy who has created on these heights system of defensive works. From here the opponent corrected artillery fire on the Ladoga Road of a life. Attempts to break through during Sinyavino offensive operations 1941-1942 of success had no blockade of Leningrad. Even after break of blockade in January, 1943. Sinyavino hills have remained for the enemy that allowed it to fire at the railroad line of the Polyani-Shlisselburg which have connected in February, 1943 Leningrad with the country. Active operations on Mginsko-Sinyavino direction have renewed in the summer of 1943. In September, 1943 the Soviet armies managed to seize a powerful strong point of defense of the enemy - with. Sinyavino and to improve position both the Leningrad, and the Soviet armies on a northwest strategic direction. In January, 1944 Sinyavino hills have been completely released from fascist armies. With 2000 every spring and summer search groups - exact number of the soldiers who have lost here, on Sinyavino hills, and till now not found here work, anybody (according to military historians, all on Sinyavino hills were lost up to 360 thousand person) does not know. On the rough estimates Finders, it is necessary to find and bury remains of tens thousand Soviet soldiers. " On a photo there are monuments, around rusty helmets " the Echo of war "...
