[RedStar] From the memoirs of Major General Vladimir Nikiforovich Vorobyov, military intelligence sergeant. November 5 – Military Intelligence Day

1943 was a fateful year for me. This year, all young men born in 1925 were drafted into the army. I was called up for military service in the city of Tashkent, thinking that I was 18 years old, but in fact I was 17 and a half. I was enrolled as a cadet at the Tashkent Military Infantry School in a company of Maxim heavy machine guns.
