The battles of the Soviet counteroffensive near Moscow, which did not lead to a radical turning point in the war with Germany, died out. Each of the warring parties intends to take revenge for their winter failures and put a victorious point in the summer of 1942. The new commander of the troops of the Crimean Front, Konstantin Rokossovsky, received the order of the Headquarters to hold Kerch at any cost and lift the blockade from the besieged enemies of Sevastopol. Whether General Dagger, as the Germans nicknamed the young Soviet general for his skill in the battles of Smolensk and Moscow, will be able to fulfill such a difficult task is a question, but he boldly undertakes to fulfill it.
