A new novel from the author of the best-selling books “Russian Penalty of the Wehrmacht” and “Hellish Penal Battalion.” The completion of the front-line journey of Russisch Deutscher - a Russian German who in 1945 fought from the Vistula to the Oder and from the Oder to Berlin. But if for Soviet soldiers these were the roads of victory, then for him they were the path of defeat. Because, having been born on the Volga, he grew up in Nazi Germany. Because he wears a German uniform and serves in the 570th penal battalion of the Wehrmacht, with which he will fight on the Seelow Heights and on the streets of Berlin. The red flag is already flying over the Reichstag, and Hitler’s last penal prisoners, as if spellbound, continue to kill and die. For what? For whom? How to escape from this bloody hell, how to stop being an extra in the apocalypse, how to survive Der Gotterdammerung - “the death of the gods”?
