In February 1942, Vladimir Tytar was drafted into the army and sent to study at the Novosibirsk Military Infantry School. Having received the rank of lieutenant, in February 1943 he was sent to the Northwestern Front and was appointed platoon commander. So, yesterday`s boy became an adult, and a huge responsibility fell on his shoulders – to defend his Homeland. In bloody battle, experience was gained, the male character was tempered, and the will was wounded. In the autumn during the attack on the city Nevel, Tytar was wounded, was treated in hospital, then returned to his regiment in January 1944 and immediately went into battle. The towns of Novosokolniki, Pustoshka, and Idritsa in the Pskov region were liberated.

In the autumn of 1944, he was appointed Chief of Staff of the 469th infantry Regiment. In April 1945,the was entered its final phase, and Riga was liberated. Vladimir wrote home: “… we are pushing the enemy day and night, don’t worry, we will win soon.” But the Germans desperately clung to every frontier. During the difficult battle for the railway station in front of Knerzorf, the battalion commander and company commanders were killed. Vladimir Tytar took command of the battalion and repelled 2 enemy attacks, successfully stormed and captured the station.

The next day, the battalion came across new enemy defensive fortification – the Neutrebbin station. The attacks on the move didn`t bring success. Major Tytar proposed to bypass the enemy`s troops from the rear through a swampy place where the enemy didn`t revive the appearance of our troops.

The calculation was correct, the bold onslaught was unexpected for the fascists. Our soldiers fought bravely, but the forces were unequal, and enemy launched a counterattack. “Skip the self-propelled gun, cut off the infantry,” Major Tytar ordered. He himself, firing a machine gun, cut off the enemy infantry, which ensured the success of the entire regiment. Soviet troops were able to break through to the rear of the Germans and rushed to Berlin. In this battle, on April 17, 1945, Major Tytar was wounded , but remained in the ranks until he died. He was buried in Tiergarten Park.
