Men who were there remember the battles at Kärevere in 1941
In July 1941 the bridge over the Emajõgi at Kärevere, north-west of Tartu, became one of the key points of the summer war as German forces pushed towards Tartu against Red Army units holding the river line. In this programme Arthur Kartau, Arved Malm, a man named Teelahk and Leo Jaago share with Lembit Lauri what they remember of the fighting at Kärevere. Lembit Lauri, who collected wartime testimonies on the radio for decades, places their stories in the wider events of 1941.

1941. aasta juulis sai Emajõe sild Kärevere juures Tartust loodes suvesõja üheks võtmepaigaks, kui Saksa väed tungisid Tartu poole jõejoont hoidvate Punaarmee üksuste vastu. Selles saates jagavad Lembit Laurile oma mälestusi Kärevere lahingutest Arthur Kartau, Arved Malm, Teelahk ja Leo Jaago. Lembit Lauri, kes kogus raadios aastakümneid sõjamälestusi, asetab nende lood 1941. aasta laiemate sündmuste konteksti.
