Telling the true story of a raid on a German airfield at Stalingrad, this all-action novel is a brutal account of young soldiers transformed by the violence they inflict and endure. December 1942. With the Stalingrad inferno at its height, the Germans resupply their besieged forces by planes from their airbase at Tatsinskaya, deep in German-occupied territory. Desperate to stop this air bridge, the Red Army sends a raiding force of T34 tanks far behind enemy lines to destroy the airfield itself - a mission from which only one in ten men will return alive.
