Василий ОрловДед рассказывал, как его танк Т-34 горел под Прохоровкой в тот самый день Петра и Павла. Хорошо, что наши тогда немцев переиграли по тактике, хотя потери были страшные. Интересно, сколько наших ребят там полегло точно?

Gabriela PopescuBunicul meu din partea mamei a fost mecanic la un T-34 și mi-a spus că în ziua aia de Sf. Petru și Pavel fumul era atât de gros încât abia vedeau la doi metri. A scăpat cu viață, dar a pierdut doi prieteni din sat chiar lângă Prohorovka. Câte victime au fost de-ale noastre, chiar nu se știe exact?

Sophia WalkerMy uncle Pete was a mechanic on a T-34 too, same as Gabriela’s grandfather. He never talked much about the smoke or the friends he lost that day under Peter and Paul, but he always said the way our commanders switched the attack caught the Germans flat-footed. The exact numbers still make my stomach turn, though.

Світлана МорозМій дядько теж воював на Т-34 під Прохоровкою саме того дня Петра і Павла. Казав, що від диму нічого не було видно, а наші танки горіли, як сірники. Цікаво, скільки точно наших полягло, як пише Василь.
