A new novel from the best-selling author of Penal Company Commander, Penal, Tankman, Suicide Bomber and St. John's Wort vs. Tigers! Military thriller about the exploits of Beria's border guards in 1941. "Greenheads to be shot on the spot!" - the Wehrmacht received this unspoken order in the very first days of the war. The Barbarossa plan failed already at dawn on June 22 - 435 Soviet frontier posts 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 into full combat readiness two days before Hitler's attack. Having organizedly met the enemy at positions prepared in advance, 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 - a pass to Immortality.
