Fortress. Elder V.

Brest Fortress. The history of the heroic defense of the fortress is an example of the courage and sacrifice of Soviet fighters at the very beginning of the war. Due to the miscalculations of the political leadership, the garrison was almost completely destroyed at the very first moment of the attack. But one can imagine if the fortress was prepared for the attack, provided with weapons, food and water, then the damage inflicted by her would be a hundred times higher, which, perhaps, could affect the outcome of the whole war.

and now Autumn 1939. Stalin's instruction: "Prepare for the possible attack of Germany on the USSR." The wheel of history turned.
