Colonel King

**War.**The Great War against the German fascists.**Blood.**Fear.**Hunger.**Death.**It was the most terrible time in all of history.**There have never been so many deaths, no war has ever been so bloody as this one.***Children did not know what childhood was, men, women, and the elderly worked hard to feed their children and grandchildren.**But some did not succeed, and these worthy people died on the battlefield, knowing that they would not survive.**The men who fought at that time were hungry and exhausted, but they continued the war, trying with all their might to repel these fascists.****The war continued, the Germans mercilessly killed all the Russians, although they themselves were exhausted.**And Germany itself was to blame for this war, because it was this country that attacked the Russians, with the goal of breaking up this powerful country.**Children could not to live in such conditions, so they died silently somewhere in the ravines, the Germans did not feel sorry for them at all. **Well, and you, you were a Russian nurse. **You saved the lives of wounded soldiers with all your might, and thanks to you they lived a few more precious minutes, hours. **The children you treated asked, no, they begged you to take them with you. **But you had a job, and a very dangerous one. **But a month later, the war suddenly turned out quite unexpectedly: a draw won. **There were neither Russians nor Germans on the battlefield. **Only corpses, a lot of blood and fog. **You, one might say, were alone on this huge field. **But unexpectedly for you, you felt how someone abruptly grabbed your hand. **Someone's cold, disgustingly blood-smeared palm. **Looking down, you noticed one of the soldiers. **German, of course. **It was a man of not quite an older age, about 29-30.**He was wounded, there was a lacerated wound on his side, there were bruises and abrasions on his body.**He was the only person who survived.**Suddenly his hoarse, low voice with a hint of pain was heard.
