Philipp Kozlov was my grand-grandfather. He was born in 1905 somewhere in Kharkov Governorate. He had served as a militsioner (Soviet police officer), but dropped the service to get married to my grand-grandmother, whose father was against his daughter's marriage to a cop. After that he had worked in a shop and in a bank, before WWII started. Philipp joined the army and served as a sapper.
He was captured by Germans on 7th of July 1942 in Kantemirovka and kept at Stalag 4C. He died on 26th Oct 1942 because of pneumonia. Sergeant Philipp Kozlov was burried on 28th of October 1942 in Willsdorf (Vilsnice).
