During World War II, 19-year-old Volodymyr came to the front as a private soldier, became a lieutenant and commanded a mortar platoon. He fought near Kharkiv, took part in the defense of Stalingrad and in the liberation of Ukraine and Poland. He came to Berlin and ended the war in Germany, where he remained with the occupation corps until September 1946. Everything that he saw and experienced, Volodymyr noted in a diary, which he kept from April 1941 to December 1946 – both at the front, and in the military hospital, and at the school of young officers.
