Product Description
Product Description
It stood at the top of the hill, dominating the Russian landscape - menacing, impenetrable - the O.G.P.U Prison. They were told to take it anyway they could, with machine guns, flame-throwers, entrenching tools, their bare hands. They were used to war, to blood, death, the vilest savagery that man could deviseBut the O.G.P.U. Prison was something different - a hell they hadn't met beforea bastion, an inferno that rained blood and butchery on Porta, the Legionnaire, Tiny, Barcelonathe men of the Panzer battalion who no longer had tanksonly a creeping barrage of death
