Residents of the country delivered in support of the front 320 million rubles in cash, nearly a ton of silver, 15 kg of gold, bought long-term government bonds in the amount of 250 million rubles, etc.
These and other figures were mentioned in the speech of professor, doctor of historical sciences, Mais Amrakhov, at the two-day international symposium on "The role of Azerbaijan in World War II and the prevention of Holocaust in the Caucasus", organized by the "Society Azerbaijan-Europe" and the French organization Yahad in Unum.
According to the reporter, the role of Azerbaijan in the fighting and in the rear part of the anti-fascist coalition is invaluable. More than 680,000 conscripts with a total population of 3.4 million, were sent to the front.
Approximately 340,000 Azerbaijanis died in the battlefields from the North Caucasus to Berlin. Many military hospitals located in almost all regions of the country, help to replenish half million soldiers and officers.

Unfortunately, the government has not always been true to the famous warriors. Then the Italian Communist leader Palmiro Togliatti told about the merits of a partisan, Hero of the Soviet Union, Mehdi Huseynzade, to the then Secretary General of the CPSU, Khrushchev; told the Italian Communist leader Palmiro Togliatti, the French President Charles de Gaulle told the Secretary General, Brezhnev, about Ahmediyye Jabrailov.
