Pls see below thanks

Later on I started to work on my own, on a wheeled tractor, ploughing, harrowing and sowing with a seeding machine with a helper on it.
In July, when the harvesting campaign started I was transporting grains from the harvester to the threshing floor, and from there to the elevator.
It happened to be a year of very good crop capacity, but unfortunately the Nazis kept advancing.
