Chapter 42:
September 3, 1939
Northern Germany, 3rd Military District Berlin-Brandenburg, Combat Zone near Potsdam The sound of cannon fire struck the ears in succession, and the engine noise of a swarm of tanks shaking the ground filled the battlefield.
[Charge, charge! Berlin is right before our eyes! For the Fatherland!]
[Enemy defense line ahead!]
Panzer General Oswald Lutz's unit was engaged in a fierce skirmish almost near Berlin.
“For the Fatherland! Heil Hitler!”
An SS soldier who had picked up a grenade and rushed at a tank turned into a lump of meat by machine gun fire and collapsed with that death cry.
“Ugh, aaaaaah, take cover-”
The grenade he dropped powerlessly rolled into the trench of his unlucky comrades, scattering blood and shrapnel with an explosion.
