About the book: 2013 / New novel from the bestselling author of “Commander of a Penal Company”, “Penalty Officer, Tanker, Suicide Squad” and “St. John’s Wort "against the Tigers"! A military action film about the exploits of Beria's border guards in 1941. “Greenheads will be shot on the spot!” – the Wehrmacht received this unspoken order in the very first days of the war. The Barbarossa plan failed at dawn on June 22 - 435 Soviet border outposts offered fierce resistance to the Nazis, which they did not expect and did not take into account. Unlike the command of the Red Army, Beria gave the order to bring the border troops entrusted to him to full combat readiness two days before Hitler’s attack. Having met the enemy in an organized manner at previously prepared positions, the superbly trained border guards inflicted such losses on the German assault units that in fact a whole cemetery of invaders remained in front of each outpost. “I’m dying, but I’m not giving up!” - this slogan became the unofficial motto of the NKVD border troops, and caps with a green band became a pass to Immortality.
