Short stand. Translation - the program.

As the Brest fortress was defended from fascists.

One of first at an attack of Germany to Soviet Union, blow has taken up garrison of the Brest fortress.
Brest fortress (a fortress Brest-Litovsk) - a fortress in city boundaries of Brest in Belarus, for a river Muhavets influx to the Western Bug.
Hitlerites volplaned to win here immediately, but soldiers kept defence to last - almost month. In live from almost 4 thousand advocates of Brest there were units. In four mornings, after half-hour shelling, fascists have rushed to a fortress, forcing the Western Bug. Assault groups of the fascists ferried through the river, have not met practically any resistance. At the first o'clock of war per fortresses the chaos reigned. After all when gears have fallen to the Brest citadel, its garrison peacefully slept. Troops have not been resulted in a combat readiness. Germans volplaned to take a fortress in the forenoon. Their infantry already during the first hours wars has passed forward shore fortifications, has encircled a citadel and even has broken inside. But advocates, having recovered after an artillery strike, have held defence in barracks. Its building laced up with walls of two-metre depth all fortress. At night on June, 22nd aggressors have been forced to depart. Have returned only in the morning, having covered with the captured. They have collected captured, captured on Southern island, and have sent on errands ahead of itself in the capacity of a live screen. And here when they already approached to a bridge, captured have started to shout: "Shoot, do not regret us". But our fighters saw - ahead there are the, and, of course, fire was not opened. Half of advocates managed to be wrested from the encircled fortress. Other 4 thousand, according to historians, resisted to a nazi division in which was four times more soldier. At a fortress continuously raked and often bombed. Against powerful walls have applied also the superweapon - heavy gun Charles.
Blows of such gears did not stand even fortifications. In some days of defence the unit from them was ruined.
In days when on a fortress hundreds tons of killing iron have collapsed, advocates have been forced to leave under land. In serf cellarages. In кромешной to darkness it was possible to sell the life more expensively. Germans, having had in the beginning the big losses, were afraid to assault vaults. However, have then decided to apply flaming guns. That simply burnt out advocates from shelters, the carbonized reports of a fortress testify. A brick here it is simple fluidized.
In each subdivision there was a so-called emergency ration of an ammunition where there were grenades, cartridges, and as a rule, these containers were in an abatis. Barracks has been destroyed. It was necessary to search for these containers, to prize them, to type in a bag of cartridges, grenades. It also did not once. And all this ammunition supplied in cellarages. The Soviet soldiers who have remained in a fortress opposed, even when nazis were already fixed in a citadel.
On July, 15th in a tower builted over Tiraspol gate, the unknown advocate of a fortress has launched in passing in the bottom of fascists a sheaf of grenades and, not wishing to surrender to the opponent in a captivity, then itself from above was launched on a roadway.
On inscriptions on walls have installed - advocates have held on in a fortress till July, 23rd. Then nazis already occupied Belarus and have started approach to Moscow. And because of failure in Brest Wehrmacht even assigned special order an inques. AFTER ALL AT FORTRESS STORM GERMAN 45 TH DIVISION HAS lost MORE SOLDIERS, THAN DURING WAR With Poland And France.
