Hall#2. The Beginning Of The Great Patriotic War
The materials of the hall uncover the disaster of the initial period of war. At the same time, the heroism of defenders of Ukraine - the border guards, the people's militia, and the Red Army warriors - is shown. The exhibits demonstrate the tragic situation of the first months of the war: the retreat, the encirclement, the losses.
Documents and personal belongings of the crew members of DB-ZF aircraft who perished in the air fight on 23 July 1941 and for 46 years were considered as those missing in action. In 1987, the aircraft was weighed up from 5-meter depth of the river, and the names of the pilots were identified based on the documents foundв
