Historical Background:
January 1943 - Briansk's forest.
After the German invasion of USSR in 1941, many soviets troops isolated in large areas and rejecting any surrender, had formed as many groups of partisans which harassed the rear of Axis troops during the whole war in the East. To counter this threat, Germans made some "cleaning" operations to destroy without pity any partisan group. The LVF (Légion des Volontaires Français),a French collaborationist unit, regiment sized, was involved in this gloomy task. This was the combat of a hunting commando of the LVF in its fight against the soviets partisans in the large forest of Briansk.
