The Abwehr's Cache

A novel set during wartime, about complex fates and dangerous work of unknown heroes who were included in the special forces unit “Beria’s.” Autumn 1944. Soviet troops liberate the Baltics. In one sector of the front, enemy saboteurs are trying by any means to penetrate our territory. Figuring out what the Abwehr is interested in in this area is assigned to a group led by Lieutenant Colonel Maxim Shelestov. During interrogation, one of the captured deserters reports that he was ordered to get into Pskov, make contact with a German agent left there, and carry out some important operation. Which one, the German doesn’t know. Shelestov understands that it is much easier to identify a werewolf hiding in our rear than to prevent an unknown threat looming over the city… “This series is good because it contains the correct main idea: in Lavrenty Beria’s NKVD, they knew how to believe people, because the commissar himself knew how to believe. The story of Major Shelestov’s group is similar to the real story of a major Abwehr agent, a former staff-captain of the Tsarist Army, Nelidov, who ended up on Lubyanka in September 1939. Against the background of Nelidov’s story, Maxim Shelestov’s adventures and those of his comrades described in this novel look even more plausible.” — S. Kremljov The total circulation of A.
