In the summer of 1944 the Nazi Armies prepare a massive Tank Division named 'Viking" for the offensive on occupied Russian land. The Russian Army's special group of seven snipers named "Zvezda" is sent for a reconnaissance operation behind the enemy lines in the back of the Nazi Tank Division.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

If I see your red flare, I will start bombarding

targets 7, 9, and 11 to cover your retreat.

I see.

Are the sappers ready?

Yes.

Listen to the battle-order!

According to the information we have,

the enemy is now regrouping its forces.

Command is ordering us to scout the area

held by the enemy

and confirm the regrouping.

We should identify the targets and

wire the information to the head-quarters.

Our main mission is to find the station

of enemy troops detraining,

locate areas of tanks

and infantry concentration,

reveal the find out the enemy's intentions

on the particular sector of the front.

I remind you that during the raid

you are forbidden to go into action

against the enemy and take captives

to avoid detection.

Follow me.

Crawl to the forest.

Comrade Captain,

"the first" will be talking to you.

Listening.

So, how is it going there?

It looks like they've made it.

Well done.

Report on the situation every hour.

Today at 22:
00

the commander in chief ordered

to pay special attention to your operation.

I got it.

That way.

There's a swamp there.

Just go.

Come on, go, go!

"The Earth", come in. I am "Star".

"The Earth", come in. I am "Star".

How do you hear me? Over.

"The Earth", come in. I am "Star".

How do you hear me? Over.

I hear you, "Star".

Transmitting, 21 eagle-owl 2.

Transmitting, 21 eagle-owl 2.

Do you get me, "The Earth". Over.

"Star", I got you - 21 eagle-owl 2.

"Star", I got you - 21 eagle-owl 2.

I repeat, very many 21 eagle-owl 2.

Did you get me? Over.

I got you, "Star".

Very many 21 eagle-owl 2, very many.

Yeah, guys,

this sort of life is worth living.

I want to smoke.

S.S. units.

Doesn't look like defense to me.

There at the path there is a cart with food

and only two Germans guarding it.

Let me do away with them.

I will do it without a shot.

We should eat something.

We haven't had

anything to eat for a whole day.

Let them pass.

Comrade lieutenant, please.

We can't.

Needs be buried.

I will go and see what it is all about.

Don't.

It is dawning.

Does it hurt?

My leg came numb.

It is nothing. It will go away.

We must get this German

He is wounded, coming from hospital.

They won't start looking for him.

Should I also go.

You stay and guard the radio.

But why, comrade lieutenant?

It is not to be debated.

Heavy.

What division are you from?

Infantry division 131, sapper company.

Did you see S.S. units?

He says there are many of them.

They are everywhere.

Which units?

Tank division "Viking",

and elite units of Himler.

Others?

He doesn't know.

He says he is a worker, not a nazi.

He says he is from Leipzig,

he is not an S.S.

He is asking not to kill him.

Brazhnikov.

And take the sparrow with you.

Sparrow, look around

just to be on the safe side.

This happens.

Again night shift.

May I come in?

Hello.

Hello.

I'll go.

What's with him?

Is he alive?

Who?

Travkin.

Of course.

What is wrong, Katia?

What is wrong with you?

I thought something happened to him.

Don't cry.

Soon the war will be over.

The frontier is close

and Berlin is not far.

We must live.

We are not the only ones suffering.

No.

No.

There is a drunk dead German

lying around at the road.

And they call themselves a higher race.

Should we have a look?

Isn't he good?

What else could I do?

Should I have given myself up to him?

He was coming right towards me.

Do you understand?

What on earth have you done?

Now they will know about us.

He came to me himself.

Ok, ok. We'll settle it.

Let's carry him away.

He is a real S. S, an officer.

He must know everything.

Look at him.

Everybody takes prisoners,

and I still can't.

Don't worry, Sparrow.

There are a lot of them here.

Soon you'll manage to do it.

Wow!

An interesting sort of defense.

And what is this?

A railway station.

On the 10th of the current month

an officer of "Viking" division

headquarters disappeared.

His dead body was found

It appears that his death

was caused by an accident,

however there are grounds to believe

that he was killed by the green ghosts

that were spotted at the front line.

All the units of S.S,

Wermacht and Guard in the area

are ordered to undertake

all possible measures

to locate and liquidate

the enemy scout group.

I repeat,

this is possibly

the location enemy troops detraining.

We are continuing moving

in the planned direction.

"Star", this is "The Earth".

We warmly embrace you.

Did you get me?

Did you get me?

Come back soon.

Please.

It is full.

Let's go to the other truck.

Looks like a transport to the station.

Anikanov,

Bikov and you,

take Sparrow with you to listen...

Your task is to check ways

to approach the station.

Don't get yourselves into anything.

The rally point is here.

At the edge of the settlement.

Any questions?

No.

Then, do it.

Don'be afraid, Sparrow.

Only 10 km is left to my home.

We are gonna make it.

What?

The radio.

I failed to protect it.

The radio, Lieutenant.

Easy, easy.

They are ours.

Follow me.

Wait. Look.

The tanks.

The tanks are fake.

Bykov, wounded?

Wait.

I can do it myself.

Don't die.

Don't die.

My home is near here.

I will get there anyway.

During bombing of the railway station

an officer was stubbed to death

with a Russian army knife.

It is essential to increase efforts

and liquidate the enemy scout

group as soon as possible.

There is nobody around.

I've checked everywhere.

Comrade Lieutenant.

Let me look for them.

Maybe they got lost.

No. We'll wait here.

Comrade lieutenant.

This is not that station.

What?

This station is there just to draw away

our attention off the real one.

In fact, Germans detrain the tanks

at night in a quarry.

Here you can read it.

Maybe it's worth

going there and seeing for ourselves.

Yes, we should do it.

Let's go, Kostia.

Should we get the officer?

But lieutenant told us

not to take prisoners.

Lieutenant will forgive us.

We'll do it fast and then will go home.

Ok, let's do it.

We'll do it. We can do it.

A good German.

An important one.

From their head-quarters.

Give him some home-brew.

Make sure he is well.

Get it?

Yeah.

I wonder

when the counter-offensive will begin.

Ask him once more.

He says he won't

answer our questions.

This seems to be it.

A large-scale offensive....

Hitler considers very important...

Transfer of two S.S. tank divisions...

Concentration of forces

should be finished

in two days...

Our people

don't know anything about it.

We won't be able

to inform them about it.

We must.

In the location, where German

troops secretly concentrate

for massive and unexpected

counter-offensive

against Russian troops on both fronts,

operates an experienced

Russian scout group,

that has obtained

significant strategic information.

I order

all military units in the area to

provide personnel for operation "Trap"

and undertake all measures possible to

locate and liquidate the enemy scout group.
