During the Great Patriotic War, the Germans planned numerous assassination attempts on the leaders of the Soviet Union, but in the fall of 1944, the most audacious attempt to kill Stalin was made... On the night of September 5, 1944, a transport plane "Arado-232" took off from the Riga airfield, specially designed for transporting saboteurs and cargo behind the front lines. On board were two German agents with fake documents posing as SMERSH operatives. Despite being fired upon by anti-aircraft artillery, the damaged German plane managed to land in the Soviet rear, unload a motorcycle and saboteurs armed with pistols loaded with poisoned bullets and a shaped charge mini-grenade launcher "Panzerschreck." This device could easily fit in the sleeve of a coat or overcoat and could destroy an armored vehicle from a distance of up to 300 meters. The saboteurs were ordered to reach Moscow on the motorcycle, organize an assassination attempt on Stalin, and kill the Generalissimo... They were briefed by Otto Skorzeny before the drop. On their way, the saboteurs encountered SMERSH counterintelligence officers. Will they be able to prevent the assassination and save Stalin?
