S. Kulinok - Head of the Publications Department of the National Archives
Of the Republic of Belarus, candidate of historical sciences. The Russians fight extremely stubbornly in the defenses. Even the apparently withdrawn Russian, who groans on the floor, continues to fight. Therefore, any wounded or dead found in defensive structures must be made completely harmless with a few shots from a pistol "- this is how the defense of Soviet border fortifications in June 1941 was described in German military documents. This work is devoted to these, forever in the memory of the people, the battles of the very first month of the Great Patriotic War. It is a detailed and most complete description of a number of the most complex episodes of military history: the construction of the Brest fortified region, the formation of its garrison, as well as its conduct of hostilities in the face of a sudden enemy attack. Extensive factual material includes both unpublished memoirs of the defenders of the fortified area, and unique German archival documents that reveal a picture of construction and defense from a new, sometimes unexpected side for the reader.
