On September 19, 1939, under Lvov, German and Soviet units enter battle for the first time—and the situation rapidly draws closer to a major war. Against the fragile backdrop of the Molotov–Ribbentrop agreements, parts of the Wehrmacht attack Soviet tank crews of the 24th Light Tank Brigade: both sides suffer losses, since the Germans are counting on occupying the former Austrian Lemberg as quickly as possible. At the same time, Hitler has no benefit from the eastern front, and he is ready to pull troops back beyond the San River if the USSR shows firmness.

But in the body of brigade commander Fotchenkov of the 24th LTBr, the consciousness of a man from our time suddenly awakens—and he faces a choice: try to prevent the catastrophe of June 22, 1941 within the remaining two years, or unleash war already now, on September 19. “AST Publishing House,” 2025.
