He tried to escape. He was caught. Hung. And he woke up again.
Axel Eberhardt, German soldier, finds himself laying in the snow, staring up at a boy. He did not expect to live. The boy is Pietro Vladovich, a Soviet soldier tasked with collecting the dead from the Russian prison camps in the aftermath of the Second World War. Instead of sending him back to the camps, the boy runs, and takes Eberhardt with him. He has reasons of his own for doing so. Eberhardt has reasons of his own for going with, and they are simply that whatever is happening cannot be worse than being a prisoner of the notorious Red Army.
Now branded deserters, the pair tries to avoid capture by both sides of World War Two. Along the way, despite suspicion, the language barrier, and a vicious environment, they develop an unconventional but genuine friendship.

(Still correcting for errors!) The German soldier goes through many things during his time at war, love, horror, and fear. But every soldier of any side knows that there's only one way out. He'll have to survive the new technologies of warfare. A soldier's greatest strength is bravery and moral that grows and lives in the soul. Soldiers test their strength in battle, the strong ones die as the weak ones run. War is an experience that is limited. We all don't know what it's really like. When you look at a soldier that has been at war, you can see it, its written on their faces and engraved in their eyes. A World War Two fiction story about a young man named Albert Schroeder, a twenty one year old German soldier of the Wehrmacht, has been sent to Western Russia to fight the Soviet Union in the summer of June 1944. In military training in Northern Germany, he meets another soldier named Kurt Smith. Kurt has been his friend since military training until his death in a battle against the Soviets during the early night. After Kurt's death, Albert faces many problems with another death of one of Kurt's friends from high school, Ralph Schäfer that he had just met. Albert will then be taken to a place many soldiers of his kind have gone before, a Russian P.O.W camp and might stay there for most of the war until it is over or will Albert try to escape during the night and go on a huge journey back to Germany? (NOTE: THIS STORY IS FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES ONLY!!!)

Old feelings that were thought to be buried, lost under the choices made. Ideals, a mission, a purpose... How can a person change if all his life he has known only these words? Can a selfish act bring back these lost feelings? The unconscious need to have someone by his side, someone who doesn't see him as a monster. It's not just sex that makes you feel good, that takes away that weight, that frustration that slowly destroys you. The choices made lead a person to change profoundly, to forget what it feels like to love and be loved. A look... was enough to light a small spark in the heart of the cruel ultranationalist leader.

Sofia Petrov was used to a life of danger. Growing up as a part of the Bratva in Moscow had made sure of that. Though, nothing in the world could have prepared her for the sinful temptation that was Alexei Zakharov. Brooding and haunted by the demons of his past, he'd appeared in her life as her scarred warrior. And for him, she was the one saving grace in the midst of his darkness - his milaya.
