Remembered by people who were there · 1944
Narva people remember the evacuation and bombing of their town in 1944
Five former residents of Narva, Vilma Taalberg, Valdek Kulbach, Kalju Vest, Endel Kask and Voldemar Selter, talk to Lembit Lauri about the war reaching their town in 1944. As the front came to the Narva river, the civilian population was ordered to leave, and they remember the evacuation and leaving their homes behind. They also recall the bombing that turned the old Baroque town around the castle into ruins. The programme was broadcast sixty years after the evacuation began.

Viis endist narvalast, Vilma Taalberg, Valdek Kulbach, Kalju Vest, Endel Kask ja Voldemar Selter, räägivad Lembit Laurile sellest, kuidas sõda 1944. aastal nende linna jõudis. Kui rinne lähenes Narva jõele, anti tsiviilelanikele käsk lahkuda, ning nad meenutavad evakueerimist ja kodudest lahkumist. Samuti meenutavad nad pommitamist, mis muutis lossi ümbruse vana barokklinna varemeteks. Saade oli eetris kuuskümmend aastat pärast evakueerimise algust.
