the Great Patriotic War still remains largely "unknown to the war." Despite a large number of books about individual battles, the very bloody war in the history of mankind cannot be comprehended fragmentedly - only by covering with a single look. This book first provides such an opportunity. This is not just a chronicle of hostilities, starting from June 22, 1941 and ending with the victorious May of the 45th and the surrender of Japan, and a grand panorama that allows you to make out the Great Patriotic War entirely, voluminous, not only in the smallest details, but in all its genuine tragedy and greatness.

All events of 1941-1945 are described by the authors at the modern scientific level, based on declassified archival documents and a wide range of foreign sources. The reader appears as a history of operations, the role of people and technology in them, as cleared of political propaganda as possible.

The publication is illustrated by hundreds of exclusive photographs, maps and drawings of military equipment.
