Description

In 1939, Stalin ordered preparations for the possible German attack on the Soviet Union. This led to the heroic defense of the Brest Fortress at the beginning of the war, when the garrison was nearly wiped out due to miscalculations by the political leadership. Had the fortress been better prepared and supplied, it could have inflicted far greater damage on the German forces—possibly affecting the outcome of the entire war.
