   As I sad he was a scout. He was a big man in every meanings with explosion and gentle temper at the same time. He always gave to people everything that have and something more from even his family. My grand mom Vera always shout at him for this and tell him: �Those people never remember you when you'll need the help.� But he helped me to understand and learn how to make good for people not waiting the same from them.

They made their way to the nearest bridge and command post in village not far from it. My grand pa decided to divert the enemy. He sent two people from his platoon to deliver the information and to call the reinforcement. And with the rest of the platoon (6) they suddenly attacked the germans.
