The traditional date for the end of the defense of Sevastopol is considered to be July 3, 1942, when the Soviet Information Bureau reported that Soviet troops had left the city. However, research with documents led the author of this book to a clear conclusion: Sevastopol continued to fight for about two more weeks after that date - at least until the second decade of July, when the last organized defense strongholds were suppressed by the enemy. Soviet troops did not leave the city, they remained in Sevastopol. In the report of the commander of the Sevastopol defense district, F.S. Oktyabrsky, there are words: "The remaining troops are very tired, they faltered." But, as it turned out, this was not entirely true... This book is about those who did not "falter." The book covers the period from June 28 to July 16, 1942, when the last battle of the Sevastopol defense took place. Through work with German archival documents, it was possible to determine where it occurred. Field research allowed to identify its traces and link them to modern landmarks.
