“German beasts even reached your home. They stole your belongings. Threw out your wife, Nastia [Anastasia] Galkin, along with the children. As they fled down the street, your wife Nastia was killed by a German bullet. Elder daughter, Olia [Ol’ga], and little son, Vania [Ivan], broke down in tears, Nastia no longer heard them. . .”  – From a letter to Private Galkin.
