Historical information
Based on historical data, it can be assumed that the picture A.Dejneka Sevastopol depicts events of autumn 1941, because it is in this year in the period from October 30 to November 21 the Nazis had carried out the first assault on the city.First, fighting raged on long approach routes to Sevastopol, and from November 2 attack began defensive fortress.And since the land forces in the city no longer exists, defense of Sevastopol took the Marines of the Black Sea Fleet, the individual units with fire support ships.The battle took part shore batteries.
events depicted
During the Great Patriotic War the German army was undertaken three attempts to take Sebastopol.The final battle for the city ended July 9, 1942 Despite the fact that the picture depicted AADeineka is not really accurate, on the waterfront of Sevastopol deployed hundreds of such fights.The author manages to convey a soldier heroism on canvas depicting the great feat of the Marines, who have sacrificed their lives to protect the city.
