About the book

The capture of German Poznań opens the way to Berlin for the Soviet troops. But the fascists do not think of surrendering. They defend themselves to the last, turning the city into an impregnable fortress with concrete fortifications and unprecedented firepower. At the tip of our attack acts the battalion of Major Prokhor Burmistrov. The fighters win back from the enemy an important strategic space meter by meter until they run into a labyrinth of ancient stone walls. But to stop means to wreck the offensive. Burmistrov decides on a desperate step: if these walls cannot be bypassed, then one must go... through them...

Novels of exceptional truthfulness about the Great Patriotic War. The rumble of distant explosions, the smell of gunpowder, the clank of tank tracks: the terrible signs of war come alive anew on the pages of books written by the grandsons of those who reached Berlin in the distant year of 1945.

The final novel of the trilogy “The Doomed Citadel”. It is astonishing how contemporary this trilogy is. And yet I am telling of events eighty years old... The novel tells how fortress cities were taken. They cost great sacrifices. For example, two armies took part in the capture of Poznań alone. The Germans thought the Russian troops would need six months to take it, but the city fell in a month.
