In order to storm Leningrad, the German army gathered powerful armored forces, and what Sun Hui and the girls did not know was that their reputation had been known to Hitler and Himmler and other senior leaders of the Third Reich, and Hitler wanted to send his latest war toy, the "Tiger" heavy tank, to break the myth created by the Soviets when Himmler went to inspect the Eastern Front.

The course of history has quietly become different here, although the general direction has not changed.

At the beginning of 42, after experiencing the shock brought by the heavy tanks of the Soviet army at the beginning of the war, the German army finally had its own heavy tank with thick armor and strong firepower, which was the "Tiger" tank. The Germans drew experienced veterans from other tank units to form the first Tiger tank battalion, and by August 19 the first four Tiger tanks were in place. Although generals such as Guderian believed that as a new weapon, the "Tiger" tank should be fully tested before it could be produced and put into service on a large scale, Hitler couldn't wait to try this "new toy" in actual combat -- another important reason why he was so eager to put the "Tiger" tank into the battlefield was that he could not tolerate that the German army had not created such a brilliant record as the "521" crew. For a German tanker, when he destroyed 1 enemy tank in battle, he would definitely be commended. And when he destroys 5 tanks, he will be called an ace tanker, and his name will be widely publicized as a hero's name, and the Soviet tank crew, consisting of one man and four women, actually destroyed nearly 100 German tanks, and no German tank crew has such a record at the moment!

Under such circumstances, the German "502" heavy armored battalion with its only four "Tiger" tanks drove to the Eastern Front, where they were unloaded at the Mga railway station under the city of Leningrad. At this time, the German Army Group North under the leadership of Manstein was surrounding Leningrad, but the heroic Leningrad soldiers and civilians continued to produce military industry and symphony concerts under the conditions of starving to death thousands of people every day, heavy artillery bombardment and aircraft bombardment day and night. When the 502nd Heavy Armored Battalion arrived, the Soviets had already begun a counteroffensive, trying to open the way into Leningrad, and they did not know what kind of fierce fighting awaited them.

In the early morning of August 29th, Richard. Battalion Commander Mark climbed into the leading Tiger tank, started the engine, and rumbled towards the front line.

After coming here, Richard. Battalion Commander Mark and his men had asked the German officers and men here about the "damned female Bolshevik crew" (Hitler's phrase), which consisted mainly of women, and wondered if it was a myth concocted by the Soviets to boost morale.

The answer of the German officers and men at the front surprised Battalion Commander Mark and his men: there was indeed such a skilled crew. Contrary to the Führer's contemptuous name for this crew, the people here call them "Witch Crew".

Captain Ekman, an infantry officer with rich combat experience, told Battalion Commander Mark that the composition of this crew was indeed one man and four women, and they were all black-haired, black-eyed and yellow-skinned Oriental races, they fought very bravely, and often appeared at the forefront with heavy tanks, and as long as the German tanks encountered them, they would basically be destroyed, according to the German army here themselves, they destroyed no less than 50 German tanks and armored vehicles on this front, and their total record was definitely more than 100 officially announced by the Soviet Union.

"Isn't there a way to destroy their tanks and kill them?" Battalion Commander Mark was incredulous.

"All the methods have been tried: tank No. 4 and assault gun No. 3 firing at close range, 88-mm guns, 150-mm guns, anti-tank guns of various calibers, all of which are useless." "It was the battle sappers who made their tanks lie on their stomachs a few times with cluster grenades and mines, but it didn't work, they and the only men among them would rush out of the tanks, fight our soldiers with submachine guns, pistols, and even swords, like lions, kill all our soldiers, and then return to the immobile tanks and wait for reinforcements to arrive." As infantrymen, they are also very good. ”

"Are they really women?" Battalion Commander Mark asked again.

"Of course, I've seen them, they're all very beautiful young girls, they never mind us observing them in battle, and they seem to be intentional about showing us that they are women." Captain Ekman pulled out a photograph and showed it to Battalion Commander Mark, "This was taken by our war photographer. ”

Battalion Commander Mark took the photo and looked at it, it was a "KV-1" tank with a broken track, around it, there were four girls shooting with submachine guns, and on the other side of the tank, a young man with a long knife in one hand and a pistol in the other, was rushing into a group of German infantry.

"They were so agile that they seemed to know the direction of a bullet, and no bullet ever hit them." Ekman said.

"They were never hurt?" Hearing this, Battalion Commander Mark was even more surprised.

"No, I saw them walking through the explosion of mortar shells, and one of them seemed to have shrapnel in one of their legs and fell to the ground, but after a while she got up again and ran back to her position, but her movements were a little sluggish, obviously wounded. I went there to check after the battle and found large patches of blood. "It proves that they are nothing more than flesh and blood, and the SS 'monsters' went there to collect blood samples." ”

Hearing that some SS soldiers had gone to collect blood samples, Battalion Commander Mark couldn't help but grin.

There were often strange people in the SS who did mysterious things, and now he would not be surprised that even astrologers appeared in the SS - astrology suffered a double treatment in the Third Reich, on the one hand, astrologers and soothsayers were slandered and persecuted by the Third Reich government; On the other hand, many SS members were attracted to astrology, using astrologers to predict the future, and even accepting their military advice, hoping to win an advantage in war by changing the horoscope through their spells.

Of course, Camp Commander Mark did not believe in astrology, but he heard that Himmler, the "leader of the party" who was about to inspect here, was convinced of astrology.

Gunfire rang out in the distance, and Battalion Commander Mark retracted his chaotic thoughts and returned to the reality in front of him.
