Wladimir Kowalenko

My grandfather, Kowalenko Wladimir, has been missing since beginning of WWII. Only recently I have found information that he had been captured on 8th of August 1941 and executed by the Gestapo on 1st of October 1943. He was 29 years old. He had a wife and two small children 6 and 2 years old. They grew without knowing what had happened to their father. They were born in 1935 and 1941.

He was born on 25th of May 1914. Graduated Agricultural College and then, in 1939, had been drafted into the Armed Forces as an officer, 279th Rifle Division. The military base was stationed near Kosiv, Ukraine. One of the documents stated that he had also been in Oflag XIII D (62). That is all I know about my Grandfather.
