Re: Kuznecov.Igorj - Riga
Hello dear detectives!
I want to put here joyful additional information on the fighter Pavel Antonovich Efratov, whose own daughter helped us find a detective this year - Igor Kuznetsov from Riga.
I hasten to inform you that our colleague from the search engine community, Natalya Kruglova from Kerch, managed to find the great-granddaughter of Efratov P.A. - commander of the torpedo squad of the 5th naval brigade 123 SD (his search engines found the remains).
It turned out that these relatives did not know anything about the fate of Pavel Efratov’s daughter, they thought that she died during the blockade in Leningrad with her mother, baby brother and sister.
And they miraculously preserved a photo of their relative who died at the front in their home archive. This is great luck for us and for his daughter Tamara Efratova!
I place this photo here, where our Efratov Pavel Antonovich (sitting on the left) was photographed with his friends in 1935.
He is only 25 years old there.
He sent this photograph to his parents and sisters Anna and Antonina, who loved him very much and waited at home.
Looking at this photo, we can say that our hero is doing well, he is young, the service is on, his whole life is ahead and there is a peaceful sky above his head!
Once again I want to express my deep gratitude to Igor Kuznetsov for helping to find the daughter of a fighter!
I think that the next anniversary year, when the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War will be celebrated, these families, found by both you and us, will reunite and meet for the first time in more than 70 years at the burial place of a person close to him in St. Petersburg on The memorial complex "Sinyavinsky heights".
Sincerely, Elena Zhilinskaya
