On June 21, 1941, the Brest Fortress is manned by several Red Army units, among them the 333rd Rifle Regiment, where Sasha Akimov and his older brother Andrey serve. Commissar Yefim Fomin learns he cannot bring his family to Brest because no train tickets are left. Major Pyotr Gavrilov keeps raising concerns about the readiness of the fort's defenses. Power fails that evening through sabotage by German commandos. Before four in the morning, German artillery and dive-bombers strike the stronghold and infantry follow. Fomin takes charge of the men at the Kholm Gate, Gavrilov gathers defenders at the Eastern Fort, and border guards under Lieutenant Andrey Kizhevatov turn back a German sortie into the fortress.
