And the dawns here are quiet…

May 1942. Far from the front line, at a God-forsaken crossing, the Germans are deploying troops to get to the Kirov Railway and the White Sea-Baltic Canal. These are experienced, trained saboteurs, the elite of the Waffen—SS, and against them are Sergeant Vaskov and five anti-aircraft gunners. It would seem that the battle is of local importance, but a strategically important transport artery is at stake.
