By the way, regarding the nurse standing behind the prisoner :
What do you think, was our radio operator in good hands ?

As the topic already drifted toward prisoners of war in general, I have to add that a distant relative of mine, as prisoner of war in Soviet Union, said that their normal status was very hungry = starving.
Occasionally they received very salty fish, and because of that salt their bodies got swelled.
One day the camp management (the guards) had the idea to take them to harvest cherry trees. The prisoners not only ate all the fruits from the trees, but also the leaves from the branches, and at the end some trees looked as during winter.
They were never sent again to crop or harvest something.

Regarding the treatment of prisonier of war by soviets .It varies ,after the war conditions improved .The story of the Totenkopf prisonier looks like pure propaganda especially from irember.ru but it is all so truth that not all the waffen ss prisoniers were shot on spot. I read the memories of a member of the Totenkopf division, he sad that condition were harsh but most of them manage to survive , he survive even if he was wounded when he was taken prosonier.

Your compatriot got in safe hands.Major Reshov Boris Vasilievich, at the beginning of war was the leading surgeon of hospital.In November 1941,he was heavily contused.From 1943 he is a chief of large hospital...Poll his daughter Iulia , she must know how her father outlived a captivity.It would be interesting.

In legatura cu evenimentele din 22 iunie 1941, descriese si in cartea mea Aviatia romana in prima zi de razboi, legat de Savoia Nr.1 si RTF Valcu Ion va pot informa:

Florila 1 Bombardament, Erupul 1, Esc.72.
Savoia Nr.1, Pilot Adj.Sef Av. Bucur C-tin, Obs. Lt.Carstov Ilie, mec. Smstr.Ionescu Ion, rtf. Srg. Valcu Ion, mitr.Srg. Iliescu Ion.
Avion Savoia Marchetti 79 cazut la 2 km. sud est gara Greceni la 22 Iunie 1941 orele 4,30 dimineata, din declaratia locuitorului Filip M. Adirev din comuna Alexandru cel Bun,satul Burlanesti Jud. Cahul, pe care o anexam la raportul de fata,cat si din informatiunile culese la fata locului rezulta ca: avionul a fost doborat dupa o lupta aeriana de aviatia inamica, fiind incendiat. Echipaj 4 persoane, 3 au sarit cu parasuta si au fost luati prizonieri, asupra sortii lor nu se poate preciza nimic, al patrulea, pilotul cu arsuri grave, a murit langa aviion arzand. A fost lasat neangropat din ordinul sovieticilor timp de 2 zile, cand in urma a fost ingropat, noaptea pe furis, de locuitorul mai sus mentionat (vedeti declaratia) desi era constient, ca daca va fi prins asupra faptului de bolsevici, va raspunde cu viata. Identificarea echipajului nu s-a putut face. Resturile avionului au fost gasite toate, s-a anuntat Baza Mobila Nr.2 pentru o ridicare ulterioara a lor. S-a gasit o groapa superficiala, fara sicriu cu cruce, cu terenul neangradit, in plina tarana, cuprinzand corpul eroului aviator. Data fiind situatia locului, adancimea mica, pericolul de profanare ulterioara prin animale (vite,caini,etc.) cat si pericolul sub aspectul higienic sanitar general cat si faptul ca din cauza carbonizarii partiale s-au gasit numai parti din cadavru s-a procedat de noi: Comandantul Batalionului 1 Aerostatie Paza Cpt. Ursanescu G., medicul Companiei 1 Aerostatie Paza Slt.Dr. Careavachi Repta Adrian, la exhumarea si reanhumarea (conform tuturor regulamen-telor sanitare) in cimitirul comunei Bulgarica, pe ziua de 20 VIII.1941 ore 9-1 p.m. amenajandu-se un mormant demn de erou. Meritam a mentiona fapta adanc crestineasca a locuitorului Filip Adirev de a ingropa pe eroul cazut,cu riscul propriei sale vieti,deasemenea a confectionat sicriul si a dat tot concursul cu ocazia exhumarii. Deasemenea tot concursul l-a dat si seful garii Greceni Pacuraru Ion care impreuna cu seful postului de jandarmi Musai, Plut. Burghelea Ioan si-au liuat angajamentul de a ridica o troita pe locul unde a cazut avionul si a fost inmormantat aviatorul erou.
