Description
People feared them. They were not only a threat to the enemy, but also an unshakable force of their own. Some considered these names “Stalin’s weapon” in the most terrible war of the twentieth century. For others, these names are either shrouded in darkness, or ground into the mud. Even now, disputes don’t die down: was SMERSH’s formation a wartime necessity or a planned move by Stalin? What is hidden behind the activities of counterintelligence fighters? What role did SMERSH play in the enemy’s rear and during the Red Army’s counteroffensive?
The heroes of military counterintelligence, who made their contribution to the Great Victory, deserve to step out of the shadows of anonymity. Based on declassified documents of the Central Archive of the FSB of Russia, data from these archives, and interrogation records, the author helps fill existing gaps.:
