| Comrade Scooturo wounded, crankshaft problems,
waiting for mechanic.
War began in 1939, Germans marched through Europe and invaded
it pretty easily. After bombings of London everyone was
expecting Germans to start war with Great Britain, but suddenly
Hitler moved his forces on Soviet Union.
In Soviet Union they have been aware, but not prepared and in
first weeks of war Soviet Army lost 3 millions of troops.
Here, at first defence line, German march through Europe
ended. They met resistance of fanatics.
We call this bunker by name of it's commander, a Kiporenko
bunker. They died of a toxic gas.
This bunker was never taken, soldiers were bricked up and kept
resist until they all died with hunger.
While Stalin and Zhukov argued at the point if they should
pull off forces from Kiev the defenders of this bunker decided
to stay and not join army for retreat. It was their free will.
We'll return to this bunker in our story.
In old Soviet Union they loved to make a cult of a hero.
Everyone knew the names of some literary characters, who may
have never existed... they used to glorify some fake heroes
while the real ones have been forgotten, like the soldiers of
this bunker, no one knows their names, not even how many of them
were inside.
