This book continues "22d June, or When the Great Patriotic War Began" which challenged common ideas about the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, and the cause of the catastrophic losses of the first months of the war. The author disputes Suvorov`s theory, which states that the soviet army was prepared for offensive, but not for defensive action. What in fact happened at the air fields near the western border?
