Vasily is a graduate from armory school. The fact that it's World War II doesn't stop him from falling in love. Inside of him the combat officer and the romantic young man struggle, and often the romantic wins. It's people like Vasily—sometimes children, sometimes wise commanders—who will lead their tanks to the biggest tank battle in the history of WWII, where at the cost of their own lives, they will snatch victory from the enemy's hands.
