    The Russians will not parade there this time, as that is not Russia any longer. That is a town in Belarus.
    September 1939 started the process of the national reunification, as they put it.
    :rolleyes:

    Yes! Very much greater memory problems with the 1939-41 period. I live in Brest. At us it is practically forbidden to speak about it aloud. :(

    Hello. You live in Brest now?
    My dad was born in Brest-Litovsk in 1919 and escaped 6 days prior to the 1939 invasion. My entire family from my dad's side perished. I'm looking for as much information on the area as I can get.

    Ah, site of one of the most astoundingly cynical actions of WWII.

    It's a foggy early morning. Two groups of people at either end of a bridge. Group G and Group S, let's say. The G's take several people from their ranks and send them across the bridge. The S's do the same. The two smaller groups look at each other as the pass, knowing what their future will hold.

    What gets me about this is that the people crossing the bridge were German Communist and anti-Fascists and Russian anti-Communists. The Gestapo and NKVD were exchanging people they had formerly given refuge to.
