In the Real History, the hero of this book died on June 22, 1941, covering the retreat of the remnants of his company from Brest across the Mukhavets River. He had his first battle in his life; when he was left alone, he got confused and started retreating east. If not for a chance encounter with a badly wounded commander of the RKKA—who, dying, was preparing to sell his life dearly—then the main hero probably would have done what many did at the time: retreat east until they were stopped by their own or the enemy. That’s why the lieutenant chose battle the next time—and died.
But: heroes don’t die! They become legend and are resurrected many years later, at just the right time. Nazism must be destroyed on our planet.
