A desperate battle in a frozen wasteland…
Russia, 1941
Adolf Hitler has Moscow in his sights and is determined Germany will succeed where Napolean failed, no matter the human cost. The 69th Infantry Regiment, having survived the invasion of Poland, are now leading the march across the frozen snowbound steppe to face the new challenge and further horrors of war.
Back in charge of his men and even more disillusioned by the Third Reich is young Major von Dietz. Returning from serious injury, he must see his veterans and fresh new recruits through their long trek, fighting off Cossack attacks, the slaughter of teenage Russians, partisans and suicidal ski troops.
In sheer desperation Major von Deitz must, once again, put his life on the line and disobey orders to keep his men alive.
Pushed to breaking point in retreat, they battle starvation, exhaustion and desertion as the cold constantly threatens to overwhelm them. Faced with mutiny, von Dietz is forced to act like the despised Führer fanatics to get them home…
Will the Russians outwit their German invaders? Can von Deitz get the last of his men back to safety?
