What to read to preschoolers about the Great Patriotic War. Three stories about children of war

“...You cannot be a person and remain indifferent to the fate of the country in which you were born and live, just as you cannot be indifferent to the woman you love and to those who intercepted the bullet intended for you with their hearts” - writer Boris Balter (1919 -1974).

In order for children to know and remember the heroic deeds of our grandfathers and fathers, they need to develop patriotic feelings. Talk about the war, about dead relatives, about severe trials that millions of people had to endure, about the fight against fascism and about Victory. Only then will the child be able to understand what love for the Motherland is and how important it is to be able to protect his Fatherland and his loved ones if necessary.

Even younger schoolchildren can start reading children's books on military topics. Of course, the most interesting for them will be those works whose heroes are their peers. Books about war will help the younger generation learn to truly love their family and appreciate all the good things in their lives. Our children, getting acquainted with literature about the Great Patriotic War, should know that their peers in the distant forties of the last century not only struggled with the difficulties of wartime in the rear, but also made a direct contribution to the Victory, joining the fight against the enemy on an equal basis with adults!

Stories about the Great Patriotic War by Vladimir Bogomolov

Vladimir Bogomolov. An extraordinary morning

The grandfather came up to his grandson’s bed, tickled his cheek with his grayish mustache and said cheerfully:

- Well, Ivanka, get up! It's time to get up!

The boy quickly opened his eyes and saw that his grandfather was dressed unusually: instead of the usual dark suit, he was wearing a military jacket. Vanya immediately recognized this jacket - his grandfather was photographed wearing it in May 1945 on the last day of the war in Berlin. On the tunic there are green shoulder straps with a small green star on a narrow red stripe, and medals on beautiful multi-colored ribbons jingle lightly above the pocket.

In the photo, the grandfather looks very similar, only his mustache is completely black, and a thick wavy forelock peeks out from under the visor of his cap.

- Ivan the hero, get up! Get ready for a hike! - Grandfather hummed cheerfully in his ear.

- Is today already Sunday? - Vanya asked. - And we'll go to the circus?

- Yes. “Today is Sunday,” grandfather pointed to a piece of calendar. - But Sunday is special.

The boy looked at the calendar: “What special Sunday?” - he thought. On the calendar sheet the name of the month and the number were printed in red paint. As always. “Maybe today is Victory Day? But this holiday happens in the spring, in May, and now it’s still winter... Why is grandfather in military uniform

“Take a good look,” said grandfather and picked Vanya up in his arms, brought him to the calendar and asked:

- Do you see what month it is? - And he answered:

— The month of February. What about the number? Second. And what happened on this day, many, many years ago, in 1943? Forgot? Oh, Ivan, the soldier’s grandson! I told you more than once. And last year, and the year before... Well, do you remember?..

“No,” Vanya admitted honestly. “I was very little then.”

The grandfather lowered his grandson to the floor, squatted down and pointed to the polished yellow medal that hung on his jacket, the first after two silver ones - “For Courage” and “For Military Merit.” Soldiers with rifles were stamped on the circle of the medal. They went on the attack under an unfurled banner. Planes were flying above them, and tanks were rushing to the side. At the top, near the very edge, was extruded: “For the defense of Stalingrad.”

- I remembered, I remembered! - Vanya shouted joyfully. — On this day you defeated the Nazis on the Volga...

Grandfather smoothed his mustache and, pleased, said in a deep voice:

- Well done for remembering! I haven't forgotten, that is. Today we will walk with you through those places where the battles took place, where we stopped the fascists and from where we drove all the way to Berlin!

Let us, reader, follow our grandfather, and remember those days when the fate of our country, our Motherland, was decided near the city on the Volga.

Grandfather and grandson walked through the sunny winter city. The snow creaked underfoot. The ringing trams rushed past. The trolleybuses rustled heavily with their large tires. Cars raced one after another... Tall poplars and wide maples nodded welcomingly to the pedestrians with their snow-covered branches... Sunny bunnies bounced off the blue windows of new houses and jumped briskly from floor to floor.

Coming out onto the wide Station Square, the grandfather and the boy stopped at a snow-covered flower bed.

Above the station building in blue sky a tall spire with a golden star rose.

Grandfather took out a cigarette case, lit a cigarette, looked around the railway station, the square, the new houses, and again the events of the distant war years came back to him... a junior lieutenant in the reserve, a veteran soldier.

The Great Patriotic War was going on.

Hitler forced other countries - his allies - to participate in the war against us.

The enemy was strong and dangerous.

Our troops had to retreat temporarily. We had to temporarily give up our lands to the enemy - the Baltic states, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus...

The Nazis wanted to take Moscow. We were already looking at the capital through binoculars... The day of the parade was set...

Yes, Soviet soldiers defeated enemy troops near Moscow in the winter of 1941.

Having been defeated near Moscow, Hitler ordered his generals in the summer of 1942 to break through to the Volga and capture the city of Stalingrad.

Access to the Volga and the capture of Stalingrad could provide fascist troops with a successful advance to the Caucasus, to its oil riches.

In addition, the capture of Stalingrad would have divided the front of our armies in two, cut off the central regions from the southern ones, and most importantly, would have given the Nazis the opportunity to bypass Moscow from the east and take it.

Having transferred 90 divisions and all reserves to the southern direction, creating an advantage in manpower and equipment, the fascist generals in mid-July 1942 broke through the defenses of our Southwestern Front and moved towards Stalingrad.

The Soviet command did everything to detain the enemy.

Two reserve armies were urgently allocated. They stood in the way of the Nazis.

The Stalingrad Front was created between the Volga and Don.

Women, children, and old people were evacuated from the city. Defensive structures were built around the city. They stood in the way of fascist tanks steel hedgehogs and gouges.

At each factory, workers created battalions of volunteer militias. During the day they assembled tanks, made shells, and after the shift they prepared to defend the city.

The fascist generals received an order to wipe out the city on the Volga from the face of the earth.

And on a sunny day on August 23, 1942, thousands of planes with black crosses fell on Stalingrad.

Wave after wave of Junkers and Heinkels came, dropping hundreds of bombs on residential areas of the city. Buildings collapsed and huge pillars of fire rose to the sky. The entire city was enveloped in smoke—the glow of the burning Stalingrad was visible for tens of kilometers.

After the raid, the fascist generals reported to Hitler: the city was destroyed!

And they received the order: take Stalingrad!

The Nazis managed to break through to the outskirts of the city, to the tractor factory and to the Oak Ravine. But there they were met by battalions of volunteer workers, security officers, anti-aircraft gunners and military school cadets.

The battle went on all day and all night. The Nazis did not enter the city.

Vladimir Bogomolov. Fedoseev Battalion

Enemy soldiers managed to break through to the city's railway station.

Fierce fighting raged at the station for fourteen days. The soldiers of the battalion of Senior Lieutenant Fedoseev fought to the death, repelling more and more enemy attacks.

Our command kept in touch with Fedoseev’s battalion, first by telephone, and when the Nazis surrounded the station, by radio.

But Fedoseev did not answer the call signs of the headquarters. They called him all day, but he was silent. They decided that all the soldiers of the battalion were killed. Morning came, and over the broken roof of one of the houses they saw a red banner waving. This means that the Fedoseevites are alive and continue to fight the enemy!

The army commander, General Chuikov, ordered an order to be delivered to Senior Lieutenant Fedoseev so that he and the soldiers would withdraw to new positions.

Sergeant Smirnov was sent as a liaison. The sergeant somehow got to the ruins of the station and learned that only ten people remained from the battalion. The commander, senior lieutenant Fedoseev, also died.

The messenger asks: “Why are you silent? Why don’t you answer headquarters’ call signs?”

It turned out that the shell had destroyed the radio. The radio operator was killed.

The fighters began to wait until nightfall to retreat to new positions. And at this time the Nazis began to attack again.

There are tanks ahead, and machine gunners behind them.

The Fedoseevites lay down in the ruins.

Enemy soldiers are advancing.

It's getting closer. Closer.

The Fedoseevites are silent.

The Nazis decided that all our soldiers had died... And, rising to their full height, they rushed to the station.

- Fire! - came the command.

Machine guns and machine guns were fired up.

Bottles containing a flammable mixture were thrown into the tanks.

One tank caught fire, another skidded, a third stopped, a fourth turned back, and behind it came the fascist machine gunners...

The fighters took advantage of the enemy’s panic, took down the banner, pierced by shrapnel, and went to their own basements to new positions.

The Nazis paid dearly for the station.

In mid-September, Nazi troops again intensified their attacks.

They managed to break into the city center. There were battles for every street, for every house, for every floor...

From the station, grandfather and grandson walked to the Volga embankment.

Let's go after them too.

Next to the house where they were staying, there was a tank turret mounted on a gray square pedestal.

Here, during the battles for the city, the headquarters of the main, central crossing was located.

To the right and left of this place there were trenches along the entire Volga bank. Here our troops defended the approaches to the Volga, and repelled enemy attacks from here.

Such monuments - a green tank turret on a pedestal - stand along our entire line of defense.

Here the Stalingrad soldiers took an oath: “Not a step back!” Further, to the Volga, they did not allow the enemy - they protected the approaches to the river crossings. Our troops received reinforcements from that bank.

There were several crossings across the Volga, but near the central one the Nazis were especially fierce.

Vladimir Bogomolov. Flight "Swallows"

Enemy bombers hovered over the Volga day and night.

They chased not only tugboats and self-propelled guns, but also fishing boats and small rafts—sometimes the wounded were transported onto them.

But the city’s rivermen and military sailors of the Volga Flotilla delivered cargo no matter what.

Once upon a time there was such a case...

They call Sergeant Smirnov to the command post and give him the task: to get to the other side and tell the army's logistics chief that the troops will hold out at the central crossing for another night, and in the morning there will be nothing to repel enemy attacks. We urgently need to deliver ammunition.

Somehow the sergeant made it to the head of the rear and conveyed the order of the army commander, General Chuikov.

The soldiers quickly loaded a large barge and began to wait for the longboat.

They wait and think: “A powerful tug will come, pick up the barge and quickly throw it across the Volga.”

The soldiers look - an old steamboat flops, and it is named somehow inappropriately - “Swallow”. The noise it makes is so loud you can cover your ears, and its speed is like that of a turtle. “Well, they think, you can’t even get to the middle of the river with this.”

But the barge commander tried to reassure the fighters:

- Don’t look at how slow the ship is. He has transported more than one barge like ours. “Swallow” has a fighting team.

"Swallow" approaches the barge. The soldiers are watching, but there are only three people on the team: a captain, a mechanic and a girl.

Before the steamboat had time to approach the barge, the girl, the daughter of mechanic Grigoriev, Irina, deftly hooked the cable hook and shouted:

- Let's get a few people on the longboat, you'll help fight off the Nazis!

Sergeant Smirnov and two soldiers jumped onto the deck, and the Lastochka dragged the barge.

As soon as we reached the reach, German reconnaissance planes circled in the air, and rockets hung on parachutes over the crossing.

It became as bright as day around.

The bombers came after the scouts and began diving first on the barge, then on the longboat.

Soldiers fire rifles at the planes, bombers almost touch the chimneys and masts of the longboat with their wings. On the right and left sides there are columns of water from bomb explosions. After each explosion, the soldiers look around with alarm: “Is that really it? Got it?!” They look - the barge is moving towards the shore.

The captain of the Lastochka, Vasily Ivanovich Krainov, an old Volgar, knows that the steering wheel turns left and right, maneuvers, and steers the longboat away from direct hits. And that's it - forward to the shore.

German mortar men noticed the steamboat and barge and also began to fire.

The mines fly by with a howl, splash into the water, and fragments whistle.

One mine hit a barge.

A fire started. Flames ran across the deck.

What to do? Cut the cable? The fire is about to approach the boxes with shells. But the captain of the longboat turned the helm sharply, and... “Swallow” began to approach the burning barge.

Somehow they moored to the high side, grabbed hooks, fire extinguishers, buckets of sand - and boarded the barge.

The first is Irina, followed by the fighters. They put out a fire on the deck. They knock him off the boxes. And no one thinks that every minute any box can explode.

The soldiers threw off their greatcoats and pea coats and covered the flames with them. The fire burns hands and faces. It's stuffy. Smoke. It's hard to breathe.

But the soldiers and crew of “Swallow” turned out to be stronger than fire. The ammunition was salvaged and brought ashore.

All the longboats and boats of the Volga flotilla had so many such voyages that they couldn’t be counted. Heroic flights.

Soon in the city on the Volga, where the central crossing was, a monument to all the hero rivermen will be erected.

Vladimir Bogomolov. 58 days on fire

From the central ferry to Lenin Square, the main square of the city, it is very close.

From afar, passers-by from the wall of the house that overlooks the square notice a soldier in a helmet. The soldier looks attentively and seriously, as if asking not to forget about those who fought here in the square.

Before the war, few people knew this house - only those who lived in it. Now this house is famous!

Pavlov's House! House of Soldier's Glory!

This house was then the only surviving house on the square, not far from the crossing.

The Nazis managed to capture it.

Having placed machine guns and mortars on the floors, enemy soldiers began to fire at our positions.

Regimental commander Elin summoned scouts - Sergeant Yakov Pavlov and soldiers: Sasha Alexandrov, Vasily Glushchenko and Nikolai Chernogolov.

“That’s it, guys,” said the colonel, “go visit the Fritz at night.” Find out how many of them there are, how best to get to them and whether it is possible to knock them out of there.

This house is a very important object strategically. Whoever owns it keeps the entire Volga region under fire...

At night at that time the streets were as dark as a cave. Hitler's soldiers were very afraid of the dark. Every now and then they fired flares into the night sky. And as soon as they notice any movement on our part, anything suspicious, they immediately open heavy fire.

On such an alarming night, Sergeant Pavlov and his comrades went on reconnaissance. Some bending over, some crawling on their bellies, they reached the outer wall of this house.

They lay down, not breathing. They are listening.

The fascists in the house are talking, smoking, and firing rocket launchers.

Pavlov crawled to the entrance and hid. He hears someone rising from the basement.

The sergeant prepared a grenade. Then a rocket lit up the sky, and the scout spotted an old woman at the entrance. And she saw the fighter and was delighted.

Pavlov asks quietly:

- What are you doing here?

- We didn’t have time to leave for the Volga. There are several families here. The Germans drove us into the basement.

- It's clear. Are there many Germans in the house?

“We don’t know about those entrances, but there are about twenty people in ours.”

- Thank you, mom. Hide quickly in the basement. Tell the rest: don't go out to anyone. Now we'll give the Krauts a little fireworks display.

Pavlov returned to his comrades and reported the situation.

- Let's act!

The scouts crawled up to the house from both sides, got the hang of it and threw a grenade at the window frames.

Strong explosions were heard one after another. The flames blazed. There was a smell of burning.

Stunned by the unexpected attack, the Nazis jumped out of the entrances, jumped out of the windows - and to their own.

- Fire at the enemy! - Pavlov commanded.

The scouts opened fire with machine guns.

- Behind me! Occupy the floors!..

On the second floor, the fighters threw several more grenades. The enemies decided that an entire battalion had attacked them. The Nazis abandoned everything and ran in all directions.

The scouts inspected the floors in all the entrances, were convinced that not a single living fascist was left in the house, and Pavlov gave the command to take up defense. The Nazis decided to recapture the house.

They shelled the house with cannons and mortars for a whole hour.

The shelling is over.

The Nazis decided that the battalion of Russian soldiers could not stand it and retreated to their own.

The German machine gunners again moved towards the house.

- Don't shoot without a command! - Sergeant Pavlov conveyed to the soldiers.

There are already machine gunners right at the house.

The well-aimed bursts of the Pavlovians mowed down the enemies.

The Nazis retreated again.

And again mines and shells rained down on the house.

It seemed to the Nazis that nothing living could remain there.

But as soon as the enemy machine gunners got up and went on the attack, they were met by well-aimed bullets and grenades from the scouts.

The Nazis stormed the house for two days, but were unable to take it.

The Nazis realized that they had lost an important facility from which they could shell the Volga and all our positions on the shore, and they decided to drive the Soviet soldiers out of the house at all costs. They brought in fresh forces - a whole regiment.

But our command also strengthened the garrison of scouts. Machine gunners, armor-piercers, and machine gunners came to the aid of Sergeant Pavlov and his soldiers.

Soviet soldiers defended this frontier house for 58 days.

You can get to the Red October plant by trolleybus along Lenin Avenue.

Vanya perched himself by the window and every time they drove past tank towers on pedestals, he happily stopped his grandfather and shouted: “More!” Another one!.. Again!.. Look, grandpa! Look!.."

- I see, grandson! I see! This is all the front line of our defense. Here the fighters fought to the death, and the fascist troops were never able to break through further.

The trolleybus stopped.

— Next stop “Red October”! - the driver announced.

- Ours, grandson! Get ready to go out.

Factories of Stalingrad.

In their workshops, city workers stood at the machines for two or three shifts - they welded steel, assembled and repaired tanks and guns disabled by the enemy, and manufactured ammunition.

Militia workers came from the workshops to fight the enemy for hometown, for the native plant.

Steelworkers and rollers, assemblers, turners and mechanics became soldiers.

Having repelled the enemy's attacks, the workers returned to their machines. The factories continued to operate.

Defending their hometown, their home plant, hundreds of brave workers became famous, and among them was the first female steelmaker, Olga Kuzminichna Kovaleva.

Vladimir Bogomolov. Olga Kovaleva

The enemy is one and a half kilometers from the tractor plant, in the village of Meliorativny.

The militia detachment received the task of driving the Germans out of the village.

The battle broke out near the village, on the approaches to it.

The militia went on the attack. Among them was the squad commander, Olga Kovaleva.

The Nazis opened heavy fire on the attackers from machine guns and mortars...

I had to lie down.

The militia are pressed to the ground and cannot raise their heads. They looked - the Germans went on the attack. They're about to get around them.

At this time, the chain of soldiers reported that the detachment commander had died.

And then Olga Kovaleva decided to mount the fighters on a counterattack. She stood up to her full height and shouted:

- Follow me, comrades! We will not allow the enemy to enter our plant! To our city!!!

The workers heard Olga Kovaleva’s call, stood up and rushed towards the enemy.

- For our native plant! For our city! For the Motherland! Hooray!..

They drove the Nazis out of the village.

Many militiamen were killed in that battle. Died

and Olga Kuzminichna Kovaleva.

In honor of the militia heroes, monuments were erected at the factory entrances.

On the marble slabs are the names of those who gave their lives in battles for the city, for their native plant.

Workers go to the factory and swear to the fallen to work so as not to disgrace their military honor.

When they return from their shift, they mentally report on what has been done during the working day.

At the tractor plant, a real T-34 tank is installed at the central entrance.

Such combat vehicles were produced here during the war.

When the enemy approached the city, the tanks were heading straight from the assembly line into battle.

Soviet tank crews performed many heroic deeds in the days great battle on the Volga.

Books about the Patriotic War of 1812

Two magnificent books from the Labyrinth publishing house are dedicated to the Patriotic War of 1812.

The first - "In a terrible time" - was written back in Soviet time historian Mikhail Grigorievich Bragin. Its modern edition is very original: in addition to text and illustrations, the book contains many different interactive elements. The book is well made, filled with information - it is a real work of art. If a student is interested in history, weapons or military affairs, this book will be a great gift for him! But I’m sure adults will also get great pleasure from this book.

Annotation:
In the 1960s, historian M. G. Bragin wrote the book “In a Terrible Time,” and Soviet boys fell ill with 1812. How many armies were created from the most unexpected materials, how many battles were fought! Almost half a century later, this book returns to the reader, and again on its pages you can hear the roar of cannons, sparkling cuirasses and billowing gunpowder smoke. The Patriotic War comes to life here in the smallest detail: you can read the correspondence of generals, understand battle patterns, see what a Russian soldier wore in his backpack, look into the regulations of 1811, examine uniforms and weapons, learn how to build fortifications, find out how a cannon fires, why an apron for a sapper, whether it was possible to cure Bagration, what a okochurnik is, what statue of Napoleon could stand in the Kremlin and what destroyed the Great Army. Additional materials: original three-dimensional designs, panoramic pages, flaps, little books, maps, battle diagrams, a guide to the Borodino field, cards with portraits and biographies of great commanders, historical documents.

In the same series, in the same original design The book "The Battle of Borodino" was published. There are few pages in this publication - only 26. But each of the cardboard pages can be studied for a long time. The price for this book is very, very decent. This is not a mass product, and in my library I, for example, this book I didn't buy it. But I couldn’t ignore her either - she’s very good.

Annotation:
This unique interactive publication was prepared specifically for the 200th anniversary of the Patriotic War of 1812. The book provides a rare opportunity not only to read about the events of bygone days, but also to see as close as possible the course of the Battle of Borodino, to immerse yourself in history, which literally comes to life on the pages of the book. The main narrative is accompanied by additional texts that tell about the heroes of the 1812 campaign and describe interesting details of military life. The illustrations allow you to imagine what the uniform and weapons of that time looked like: historical accuracy is maintained here even in the smallest details. The book was created with the assistance of the largest libraries, museums, and military history clubs in Russia. The publication is intended for wide range readers. Additional materials: original volumetric structures, movable elements, valves, panoramic and sliding pages, a belt with a module in the form of a clock with movable hands, a poster with portraits and biographies of French and Russian commanders, 10 cards with the uniform of the Russian army, 10 cards with the uniform of the French army , antique board game"Cossacks".
Oh, war, what have you done, vile one:
our yards have become quiet,
our boys raised their heads -
they have matured for the time being,
barely loomed on the threshold
and they left, following the soldier - the soldier...
Goodbye boys!
boys,

No, don't hide, be tall
spare neither bullets nor grenades
and don’t spare yourself,
And still
try to go back.

Voronkova L.F. Girl from the city

The story “The Girl from the City,” written in the harsh year of 1943, still touches the hearts of children and adults. All the best in a person is most clearly manifested in years of difficult trials. This is confirmed by the story of the little refugee Valentinka, who found herself among strangers in an unfamiliar village.

Gaidar A.P. The Tale of the Military Secret, of Malchish-Kibalchish and his firm word

A heroic tale by a wonderful children's writer. Malchish-Kibalchish embodies everything best features our boys who dream of accomplishing a real feat in the name of the Motherland.

The presence of this work in the list dedicated to the Great Patriotic War is controversial, because it refers to Civil War(1918-1921), the enemies are “bourgeois”, not fascists... But this is a fairy tale-parable! About perseverance, loyalty, courage...

“Trouble came from where we didn’t expect it. The damned Bourgeois attacked from behind the Black Mountains. Again bullets are whistling, again shells are exploding. Our troops are fighting the bourgeois, and messengers are rushing to call for help from the distant Red Army...”

The Great Victory would not have been won if there had not been such big and small heroes. Didn’t the fate of the pioneer heroes repeat the fate of Malchish-Kibalchish?

The text by A. Gaidar in the proposed source is accompanied by drawings by V. Losin.

If you remember the film "The Tale of Malchish-Kibalchish", which the older generation watched in childhood, then it reproduces a direct parallel with the Great Patriotic War, and this is how this fairy tale is remembered...

So, read and judge for yourself!
