A new book from the author of the bestsellers “Commander of a Penal Company”, “Penalty Officer from a Tank Company” and “Penalty Officer, Tanker, Suicide Squad”. The end of the front-line journey of the Soviet tankman. He has been on the front line since the summer of 1941. He burned in a tank more than once, escaped from encirclement, “atone for his guilt with blood” in a penal company - and the nickname Shtrafnik, received from an overly vigilant political worker, stuck to him until the end of the war, which did not end even with the fall of Berlin. The red flag is already flying over the Reichstag, victorious fireworks are thundering, but he faces the last, most difficult battle - for Prague... What could be more terrible than dying on Victory Day? What did it feel like not to bow to shells and cartridges on May 9, 1945? Who will be the last to fall in the Great Patriotic War? Is he really?... Survive, soldier! Please survive! After all, you deserve it...
