“Trench Truth” of the Great Patriotic War, without censorship, omissions, or embellishment. Utterly candid, truthful, and bitter testimonies from veterans about the bloodiest war in our history. Scouts and penal battalion fighters, tankers and paratroopers, machine-gunners, anti-armor riflemen, artillerymen, air-defense troops, infantry—chills run down your spine and a lump rises in your throat from their unadorned accounts. This is the whole truth about what our grandfathers had to go through, how few chances there were to survive under mortal fire, and what blood was paid for the Great Victory.
