Undefeated. Bloody summer of 1941: Valery Kiselev

They received military baptism in July 1941 near Mogilev. Their division went into battle against the strongest connection of the Wehrmacht – the 2nd Panzer Group of Guderian – having 14 thousand bayonets in the ranks. Three months later, 806 fighters broke out of the third encirclement. Wounded, bloodless, black from hunger and lack of sleep, barely holding on their feet, seeing all the circles of the front -line hell – but incurious. Undefeated. Invincible …
This novel is based on real events – the author not only interviewed all the surviving veterans of the 137th Infantry Division, but he himself walked his entire military path. In this book there is not a word of fiction, no default, nor ceremonial myths. This is a clean, undiluted, burning like front -line 100 grams, causing the spirit and making his way to tears “trench truth” to the Great Patriotic War. This is the anthem of the invincible Russian infantry, which stood to death in the summer of 1941.
