journey enjoyable. Speed, comfort and safety are the main advantages of trains and planes. That is why I prefer travelling by train. Travelling by sea is popular mostly for pleasure trips. On board large ships and small river boats people can visit foreign countries and different places of interest within their own country. It is very pleasant to see the rise and fall of the waves, to feel the fresh sea wind blowing and hear the cry of the seagulls. Trips on the Volga, the Dnieper, the Yenisei, the Black Sea are very popular today. Many people like to travel by car. It is interesting too, because you can stop when and where you like, you do not have to buy tickets or carry your suitcases. A very popular method of travelling is hiking. It is travelling on foot. Walking tours are very interesting. Hitch-hiking is a very popular method of travelling among young people. But it is not so popular in our country as abroad.
Decrease in anti- antisemitism. Dramatic shifts in J demography, not just deaths; color map, location of Js will change, no longer in Eur Russia. What is written about first year or two of war? Why so hard to find info about what happened? Friendship of nations, collaboration? Wanted to demonize nationalist movements, wrote about this. Utter chaos, almost no SU records, infrastructure in free fall, continuous retreat, killed, captured. Front lines thousands of miles. Napoleon 600,000 troops, Dnieper, beeline for Moscow. Wehrmacht on 3 fronts. Winter of 42. Turnover of personnel. More interested in food, fuel, housing, incapable even of this.

Freedom of information acts filed, 1990s in Washington. #s of Js SU comm, asked locals, took samples by digging. Wanted to be able to tell citizens what fascists had done

two-year siege of Leningrad. By next summer, it had become evident that Nazidom could not win its great victory over Bolshevism, but the troops hoped at least for a stalemate that would stabilize their conquests. The high command decided on some limited attacks to cripple Soviet offensive power. With the waning of Luftwaffe air mastery, Nazi intelligence had to depend less upon aerial reconnaissance and more upon wireless surveillance. In tactical operations during the Battle of the Dnieper in October, 1943, the chief of staff of the 48th Panzer Corps declared, "The best and most reliable source of intelligence was our Wireless Intercept Service." A few months later, that corps participated in one of the attacks that Army Group South, one of the three major German groupings on the Eastern Front, mounted to flatten the Kiev salient and further forestall Soviet offensive propensities. The 48th Panzer Corps had as its objective the disruption of the Russian 60th Army
