The Germans

For the Red Army, which in German-occupied territory were relatives and friends, and all Soviet people are becoming a ghost the difference between a prisoner and the retreat of death. In this short period of time, the Soviet leadership, built on the ideas of proletarian internationalism, and agreed with the opinion of the people. Yes, the enemy was not Hitler alone. Enemy - not German imperialist and German Nazism. German - that's the name of the enemy. Hitler did not personally, but millions of Germans killed the Soviet people, and hiding it has become impossible.

Only four months in the Soviet Union lasted for anti-German propaganda. But she was violent attack, mobilizing, leading to a feeling weakened and drooping spirit. June 24, 1942 Ehrenburg wrote in "Red Star": "We remember everything. We realized that the Germans - not people. Henceforth, the word "German" for us the most terrible curse ... We will not speak. Do not be angry.

We will kill ... If you can not kill a German, a German will kill you. He will take yours and will torment in his accursed Germany ... If you kill one German, kill another ... "Despite the growing bitterness of the fighting, a while the situation continued to deteriorate. Without fighting, without an order in July 1942 was put Rostov. The next day, July 30, sounded the famous order: "Not one step back!". And although the whole of July and part of August, Soviet troops continued to retreat every day of their resistance was growing stronger. From 3 August, the Germans reached the approaches to Stalingrad and been very slow and bloody battles, advancing to the Volga. August 1943-th - the culmination of this struggle. And - the apogee of the anti-German propaganda. Ehrenburg in the newspaper "Red Star" wrote August 13, 1942: "You can put up with everything - plague, famine, and death. You can not put up with the Germans ... Do not live to us, still alive, these gray-green scum. No now, no books, no love, no stars, nothing but one thought: to kill the Germans. Kill them all. Bury. Then usnem. Then remember about life, about books, about girls, about happiness ... We slay them ... But we need to kill them quickly, or they will ruin the whole of Russia, be tortured millions more people. " Today, the word "propaganda" is commonly understood as clumsy government attempts to hide something from people, or by means of false messages to impose their decisions. Of course, what has been written in those tragic days, there was no propaganda in this sense. At the heart of the Soviet man, a soldier in the heart of war poetry or prose found instant response. For hatred of the Nazis, hatred of the Germans was the meaning of life for millions Soviet people. We know further. In September-October 1942, fierce battles for Stalingrad and the Caucasus to reach the maximum. The Germans will be stopped, exhausted in the bloody battles. Stalingrad group enemy will be surrounded and destroyed. German Army Group "A" runs from the Caucasus, not to fall into another, more ambitious, "pot". Obviously, considerable merit in overcoming confusion and fear after heavy defeats at the summer of 1942 has belonged to Soviet journalists, artists, writers and poets, who managed to raise the morale of the army and people. As for this exceptional period in the history of Soviet propaganda, he was abandoned as soon as it became it is clear that more Soviet soldiers would not retreat.

The weather is good (in the evening breeze may be), the sea is warm, the tourists do not much like the price on the voucher and gifts for below normal. If you enjoy excursions, then take a cruise, you save lots of money on them. Taking cruise, you will save a lot if they took all these trips separately.

Price, as compared to those with vouchers, which you will be offered at the hotel, will differ by 30-50%. You had already been to Egypt, visited all the tours and you are only interested in the sea and sun. In this case, in order to save the best solution is to choose a remote hotel (Where the service is, as elsewhere, and prices below) or at rest far from the center of the resort (for example, Safaga). If you expect not to visit Egypt once, it would be reasonable to share the pleasure of sightseeing and shopping in several parts. Together always rest less than one.
