ДЕЗЕРТИРА НАШЛИ В ОВРАГЕ ЖИВЫМ рядом лежали 9 немцев и чужой пулемет

Autumn 1943, near Demidov. A burial team finds a body in a Soviet uniform among German soldiers in a ravine—Yemelyan Zvyagin, listed as a deserter, who left his unit a week ago. He's alive: shell-shocked, deaf, and wounded, surrounded by nine dead Germans and an abandoned machine gun, pointed in the direction they came from. According to the documents, he's a coward, but according to the ravine—a man who single-handedly stopped a group moving toward the rear through a ravine at night. SMERSH is investigating whether this was an escape or whether he stopped there deliberately. The answer turned out to be different from the one in the case. There's no one to prove it except the nine dead men. The file was never found after the war. ⚠️ Some materials presented on the channel are fictional in nature and include elements of the author's reconstruction and interpretation of historical events.
