03:15, 22nd June 1941 - Barbarossa is unleashed and Kampfgruppe von
Schroif are right there at the cutting edge of the battle for Russia.
Thrown into action against the fortress of Brest-Litovsk, von Schroif
and his crew drive a new weapon into battle - the legendary
Sturmgeschütz. However, even with this latest armored marvel there is
hard fighting as the Reds dig in and doggedly defend the island fortress
to the last man.
Penetrating, authentic and stunning in its detail, the long awaited
prequel to the highly acclaimed 'Tiger Command!' is a powerful addition
to the series. Based on a true story of combat on the Eastern Front,
this atmospheric new novel puts the reader right into the action and
unveils the story of how a legend was forged in the heat of the first
great battle of the campaign.
Written by Emmy AwardTM winning writer Bob Carruthers and newcomer
Sinclair McLay and edited by Mark Farr, this much anticipated Eastern
Front novel also explores the dark underside of war as von Schroif is
faced with the malevolent presence of Oskar Dirlewanger.
