URSS, fin novembre 1941. Inspiré du récit du journaliste Vasiliy Koroteev paru dans le journal de l'Armée rouge, Krasnaya Zvezda, peu de temps après la bataille, c'est l'histoire des "28 de Panfilov", un groupe de 28 soldats de la 316ème division d'infanterie de l'Armée rouge, sous le commandement du général Ivan Panfilov, qui a arrêté l'avancée sur Moscou d'une colonne de 54 chars nazis de la 11ème division Panzer pendant plusieurs jours. Bien qu'armés de fusils d'infanterie standards Mosin-Nagant et de mitrailleuses DP et PM-M1910 inutiles contre les chars, et de grenades antichars RPG-40 et de fusils antichars PTRD-41 inadaptées, ils se battirent sans relâche et vaillamment, avec un courage hors du commun et un dévouement sans faille, pour protéger Moscou et leur mère patrie.

Lydia Litvyak - Soviet fighter pilot. Ace. Hero. In the world ranking of female combat pilots - the first line. Her name has been there since August 1943. And probably forever. For almost eighty years past, none of the female aces have come close to such a combat account. Unless, of course, excluding Katerina Budanova, a fellow soldier and Lily’s best friend. Katya is the second line. Their regiment flew on Yak-1 fighters. He covered attack aircraft, transporters and ground troops. They fought over Stalingrad, Rostov and Mius Front. They converged in battles with German fighters, bombers and scouts. They returned from combat sorties with empty tanks and holes, fell on enemy territory, burned and sat on their belly, saved friends, suffered losses, were injured and returned to duty ... They won and became legends. On the first of August 1943, Lilya Litvyak was incomplete for 22 years. That day, her plane took off for the last time and remained in the sky forever...
