Yevgeniy Dolmatovsky:

As war with the German Nazis approached, Yevgeniy was made a military correspondent because his poems had become famous and were made into songs used for propaganda purposes.
Two months into the war with Germany, he was wounded and captured.
Being a Soviet captured by Nazis is bad. Being a Jew captured by Nazis is lethal.

But Yevgeniy escaped! Sheltered by a Ukrainian family who risked their lives to do so, Dolmatovsky recuperated then headed back to the front lines and was captured again, this time by the Italians.

But he escaped again.
Goddamn those Ukrainian Nazis.
