Veterans remember the 4th Border Guard Regiment at Permisküla, 1944
Veteranid meenutavad 4. piirikaitserügementi Permiskülas 1944
In 1944 an Estonian 4th Border Guard Regiment was formed to defend the eastern front. Endel Pilt, a Võrumaa man who served in it, recalls the fighting in Puhatu bog and the mood among the men. Siegfried Sokk from Tartu, who joined the regiment that September, tells about the battles around Permisküla on the Narva river, about officers he served under, and about his years as a prisoner of war afterwards. Permisküla is a quiet village on the river border today.

Eesti keeles
1944. aastal moodustati idarinde kaitseks 4. Eesti piirikaitserügement. Selles teeninud võrumaalane Endel Pilt meenutab lahinguid Puhatu soos ja meeste meeleolusid. Tartlane Siegfried Sokk, kes liitus rügemendiga sama aasta septembris, räägib lahingutest Narva jõe ääres Permisküla ümber, ülematest, kelle all ta teenis, ja hilisemast sõjavangiajast. Täna on Permisküla vaikne küla piirijõe kaldal.
