The pamphlet contains just one inspirational story about twenty-five convalescent Soviet Navy sailors returning to their units on a train. The train was ambushed by the Germans. The sailors ambushed the ambushers and attacked them with their bare hands. Having seized the Germans' weapons, the sailors mounted a counterattack which ended twenty minutes later victoriously for the Soviet sailors. Having elected one of them as the commissar, the newly formed unit proceeded to wreak havoc among the attacking German parachutists, infantry, and tanks. Twenty-two of them died, having fulfilled their duty to the Motherland.
In excellent condition. Except for a barely noticeable wrinkle along the top edge, the pamphlet has an as-new look and feel.
