Heroes of the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945 known to everyone.

Songs are composed about them, many memorials are dedicated to them. However, few people remember that many children died during the war.

And those who survived, began to be called "children of war."

1941-1945 through the eyes of children

In those distant years, the kids lost the most precious thing in their lives - a carefree childhood. Many of them, along with adults, had to stand behind the machines at the factory, work in the field in order to feed their families. Many children of war are real heroes. They helped the military, went to reconnaissance, collected guns on the battlefield, and took care of the wounded. A huge role in the victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. belongs precisely to kids and teenagers who did not spare their lives.

Unfortunately, it is now difficult to say how many children died then, because humanity does not know the exact number of those who died, even among the military. Children-heroes passed the siege of Leningrad, survived the presence of the Nazis in the cities, regular bombing, hunger. A lot of trials befell the kids of those years, sometimes even the death of their parents before their eyes. Today, these people are already over 70 years old, but they can still tell a lot about those years when they had to fight the Nazis. And although the parades. Dedicated to the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 mainly the military is honored, and one should not forget the children who bore the hunger and cold of a terrible time on their shoulders.

About how the war looks through the eyes of these people, pictures and photos on the topic “Children of War” will help to tell.

Many of the photos known to modern children mainly show the heroes who fought for the liberation of our land and participated in the battles. On our site we offer pictures, drawings and photos on the theme "Children of War". Based on them, you can create presentations for schoolchildren about how children, together with the military, achieved victory in the fight against the Nazis.

Children should pay attention to the life, clothes, appearance of children of that time. Most often, photos show them wrapped in downy scarves, dressed in overcoats or sheepskin coats, in hats with earflaps.

However, perhaps the most terrible are the photos of children in concentration camps. These are real heroes whom time forced to endure unforgettable horrors.

It is worth including such photos in presentations for older children, since babies are still too impressionable, and such a story can adversely affect their psyche.

The war through the eyes of those guys looked something terrible, incomprehensible, but we had to live with it every day. It was a longing for the murdered parents, about the fate of which the kids sometimes did not know anything. Now the children who lived at that time and survived to this day, remember, first of all, hunger, a tired mother who worked for two at a factory and at home, schools where children of different ages studied in the same class, and they had to write on scraps of newspapers. All this is a reality that is hard to forget.

Heroes

After the lesson and presentation, modern children can be given a task, timed to coincide with Victory Day or another military holiday, to create color drawings that depict children of war. Subsequently, the best drawings can be hung on the stand and photos and illustrations of modern guys can be compared, as they imagine those years.

The heroes who fought against fascism today remember the cruelty that the Germans also showed against children. They separated them from their mothers, sending them to concentration camps. After the war, these kids, having matured, tried for years to find their parents, and sometimes found them. What a meeting filled with joy and tears! But some still can't find out what happened to their parents. This pain is no less than that of parents who have lost their babies.

Vintage photos and drawings are not silent about those terrible days. And the modern generation should remember what they owe to their grandparents. Teachers and educators in kindergarten should tell kids about this, without hushing up the facts of bygone years. The better young people remember the exploits of their ancestors, the more they themselves are capable of exploits for the sake of their own descendants.

The Great Patriotic War is that page of our history that cannot be ignored. For a peaceful sky, for bread on the table, we owe it to our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, who, not sparing their lives, fought against a fierce enemy for the sake of a happy future for their children.

As a sign of eternal memory and respect, it is customary in our country to give veterans flowers and themed postcards made by small children's hands. Such masterpieces are more precious than any awards, because they testify that even kids know and are proud of the exploits of their ancestors. Today we will tell you how and what drawings for children about the war can be drawn on the eve of a great holiday or just to consolidate the knowledge gained from a history lesson.

So, we bring to your attention a master class on how to draw the Patriotic War for children in stages with a pencil.

Example 1

For boys, war is certainly associated with military equipment and aviation. Tanks, helicopters, planes, various weapons - these are all the achievements of scientific progress, without which victory would have come to us at an even greater cost. Therefore, we will begin our first lesson on drawings about the war (1941-1945) for children, with a detailed description of how to draw a tank in stages.

First of all, we will prepare everything you need: simple and colored pencils, an eraser and a blank sheet of paper.

Continuing to improve our skills, let's draw a military aircraft:

Example 2

Of course, little princesses may not like drawing military equipment. Therefore, for them, we have prepared separate drawings that can be used as a greeting card:

As you can see, it is not difficult for a child to draw such simple pictures about the war, the main thing is to show a little imagination and patience.

From the title it is already clear what will be discussed. We will be studying how to draw war with a pencil step by step. It will not be Star Wars and Darth Vader, and not even a shooter game, but a real war! Three soldiers in a trench, with heaps of military equipment. In order to draw all this, you need a lot of knowledge about military affairs. Of course, you can sit down to play WoT, but in the end you won’t draw anything. Who does not know this is such a super action with the participation of tanks, which has gathered a huge mass of gamers in our country. By the way, the yellow-faced Chinese are no less addicted to this. It seems that half of their population is involved in sports, judging by the number of Olympic medals in 2012, but the second is mired in the whirlpool of online games. For the fact that half of our population has been staring at the LCD monitor for two years now, while at the same time managing to smear the gaming mouse with greasy fingers from dinner and pour coffee on the clave ... let's say “Thank you” Wargaming in unison! Although God is with him. Now let's digress from tanks and try to draw military operations involving real ones. There are five steps ahead.

How to draw war with a pencil step by step

Step One First, let's outline the people in motion. Head, body position, arms, legs.
Step Two Now let's think about what will be around our soldiers: this is a fence, stones, logs. Let's show their contours.
Step Three Let's dress our combatants: helmet, pants, boots. Let's supply one of them with a bag. Draw the profile of the face closest to us. Wrap the fence with barbed wire.
Step Four Let's add details: thorns on the wire, belts on people's clothes, a shoulder blade, etc.
Step Five Let's do the hatching. There are darker areas on the clothes in the places of the fold. Darken the areas on the pillars. Well, here are the soldiers against the backdrop of a military and completely non-picturesque landscape.

One of the most exciting pages in the history of the Great Patriotic War was and remains the theme of military childhood. Children and adolescents worked on an equal footing with adults at enterprises and collective farms, volunteered for the front and became children of regiments, gave their savings to the USSR Defense Fund 1 and joined partisan detachments. And on the pages of newspapers, children tried to keep up with adults: for example, to the editorial office of the Pionerskaya Pravda newspaper, as well as a number of other publications for children and youth that continued their work during the war years, children sent drawings, poems about the war, and even cartoons in German soldier. Among the letters and drawings there are both childishly naive (see doc. N 2), and letters from schoolchildren who tried to write and draw "in an adult way." In particular, the guys mastered caricatures of the enemy - a satirical genre, characteristic primarily of "adult" Soviet newspapers.

One of the most popular newspapers among schoolchildren was Pionerskaya Pravda, the printed organ of the Central and Moscow Committees of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League. With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the structure of the newspaper was rebuilt to take into account wartime. Since June 1941, several special wartime headings appeared on the pages of Pionerskaya Pravda: “From the Soviet Information Bureau”, “Pioneer piggy bank of scrap metal”, etc. Stories, feuilletons, poems, cartoons as employees of the newspaper were published in the satirical heading “On the Bayonet” and famous writers and poets, and readers. We publish several children's cartoons and letters to them below.

Drawings - weapons of children

Schoolchildren, to the best of their ability, tried to participate in the activities of the pioneer newspaper. Among the drawings you can find not too skillful, and quite professional. From the "adult" genre of caricatures to children's caricatures, also different in execution technique, one of the main principles passed - the image of an enemy with bestial features, more like an animal than a person. Soviet fighters and nurses in children's drawings were examples of heroism and selfless service to the Motherland.

In addition, schoolchildren responded vividly to stories about the exploits of Komsomol war heroes. So, in the drawing by V. Arkhipovsky "Death of "Tanya"," obviously, the execution of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, who was captured by the Germans while performing a combat mission in the village of Petrishchevo, is depicted. During interrogation, she called herself Tanya, and for the first time they learned about her feat from Peter Lidov's article "Tanya", published in the Pravda newspaper on January 27, 1942.

Children's cartoons and drawings about the war, published below, are part of a set of documents collected in wartime for display at the exhibition "Komsomol in the Patriotic War" at the State Historical Museum (SMM).

Exhibitions about heroism

At a meeting of the secretariat of the Central Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League on May 2, 1942, an official decision was made to organize an exhibition 2 that would highlight the heroism of Komsomol members and youth in the fight against the enemy at the front and in the rear. Initially, the opening of the exposition was scheduled for the anniversary of the start of the Great Patriotic War - June 22, 1942. In reality, the first exposition was deployed in 1943 in the State Historical Museum. About 40 artists and sculptors took part in the design of the exhibition. In 1944, the Central Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League decided that the exhibition should exhibit materials not only about the Komsomol, but also about Soviet youth in general, in connection with this, the exhibition became known as "Komsomol and Youth in the Patriotic War."

In January 1949, the exposition "Komsomol and Youth in the Patriotic War" was included in the exhibition prepared for the 30th anniversary of the Komsomol (November 1948). In September 1949, this exhibition was called "Lenin-Stalin Komsomol". In July 1953 the exhibition was closed. The material exhibits of the exhibition were mainly transferred to Moscow museums - Historical, Revolution, Soviet Army. Documents and some material relics were transferred to the archive of the Central Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League. Later, the archival and museum collection of the Central Committee of the Komsomol was replenished with materials received from the participants in the events and their relatives. At present, the set of exhibition documents is fund M-7 "Documents of the Exhibition of the Central Committee of the Komsomol" Lenin-Stalin Komsomol "(1942-1953)" RGASPI. Separate materials of the exhibition are also included in fund N M-14 "Museum materials on the history of the youth movement in the USSR and Russia".

Published documents are stored in the fund M-7 RGASPI and reproduced with the preservation of spelling, punctuation and stylistic features of the texts.

The publication was prepared by the chief specialist of the department of scientific information work and the scientific reference apparatus of the RGASPI Natalia Volkhonskaya.
