A group of Russian soldiers infiltrate German occupied Poland during the winter of 1943 to raid and destroy a research base with a terrible secret.
It is 1943.
It is Stalin's Russia.
Major Miasnikov of the dreaded NKVD and his naïve protégé Lieutenant Volosov bind a group of misfit soldiers into a working unit and, posing as their country’s sworn enemies, travel into the heart of occupied Poland to destroy a weapons research establishment – the Tailleferstab.
An account of a group of Russian soldiers travelling through war-torn Russia and occupied Poland during the winter of 1943 to infiltrate and destroy a German research establishment. Part ‘Saving Private Ryan’ and part ‘Band of Brothers’ it is meticulously researched to be as historically accurate as possible. Through the experiences of this disparate group of men brought together for just one purpose the brutal horror that was part of the conflict of the Eastern Front is brought to vivid and disturbing life.
[please note - Chapter 44 is a glossary of terms and organisations used within the book, including translations of the Russian and German profanity used by the characters, so if you're reading and wondering who the hell the NKVD are just refer to it]
