Chapter 1. A cold winter's day

September 8 1951 Russia

Time 8:29 Am

The snow fell around my feet. As I walked to role call. as I got to the training ground a large open snow field and as I look around I saw 6 other men an a KV-2 heavy assault tank.

As I approached the tank the drill sergeant came up to me and said.

Privet* Comrade I assume you are Corporal Iakov Ivanov

Yes ser** said Iakov

Get in tank

As walk towards the tank I see the rest of the crew

Misha Morozov is about 5.11 has green eyes, short black hair and is 20 year's old. He is also the tank commander,

Kazimir Orlov is 5.8 has long brown hair is the driver,

Rolan Mikhailov is a short man with gray hair and looks to be in his 50s. And he is the gunner,

Then you have Volya Semenov is young boy about 17 who just joined the Army. he has shot blonde hair and a small red star tattoo on his hand. And there's me a 19 Year old newly promoted Corporal. I have Short Black hair and yellow eyes. Oh and before I forget Me and Volya are loaders

Most of the day was spent cleaning and repairing the Tank.

Later as I was on my way back to the dorm I saw a small blue bird flying above the camp
