(4) Smolensk Outskirts
- Four player map, set around late July 1941. -
Not too much is known about a soldier named Maxim Orlow who died in the Smolensk Pocket in late July,1941. He shared the fate of nearly 500,000 men of the Red Army who let their lives as the Wehrmacht ruthlessly advanced through Eastern Europe. More than three years later, when the Soviets had beaten the Wehrmacht out of Smolensk again, a letter was found in the ruins of a barn in the outskirts of the city. Standing in a muddy puddle next to the road, Major Ivan Danko started to read:
They came to every village
Picked up us near and far
To stop the madman Hitler
The chosen ones we are
We do not stand a chance
Oh death is in the air
Out here we die like flies
But Stalin doesn't care.
Danko hesitated for a second, then he dropped the dirty sheet of paper and it blew away with the wind.
