Russia 1942 The Black Cossacks were one of the toughest breeds of men on earth; famed are and wide as Russia's warrior elite, men with centuries of legendary fighting skills at their command who bitterly resented the Communist yoke. As the holocaust gathered momentum on the Eastern Front, Hitler realised that he could not defeat Stalin's formidable Red Army single-handed. He sent two men through the desolate wastes and steppes of Russia to find Cossack General Alexei Bogdan. The one man who might turn the tide, if he could be persuaded to lead his Black Cossacks into war for Germany.
Warsaw 1944 For two years General Alexei Bogdan and his band of elite Cossack warriors had fought side by side with the Wehrmacht against Stalin´s Red Armies. But now Hitler's panzer divisions were in retreat, fleeing across the the burning steppes of Russia, pursued relentlessly towards the very frontiers of the homeland. Only three things stood in Stalin's path: the broad, fast-running waters of the River Vistula, the great Polish capital of Warsaw, seething with hatred for the Nazi conqueror, and Genral Alexei Bogdan's Division of Black Cossacks.
