Mikhail Chigarev ("Private Grandfather's Summer"), Yuri Shergin and Adolf Ilyin ("Meet at the Fountain") in the family film of Oleg Nikolaevsky ("Trembita", "The Strongest") "Bold is afraid of a bullet or Bear takes a fight." June 22, 1941. An ordinary morning in a regular pioneer camp near the border. Children splash on the river, and descending from the sky the landing is perceived with delight, believing that there are exercises. But it's the Germans. They round up the children in the camp, wrap it in barbed wire, and announce that they will soon be sent to Germany. A nearby battalion of Soviet tanks tried to break through to the children for the rescue, but was defeated. Only one tank and an uncle Vasya (M. Chigarev) survived. It was by chance that Mishka Skvortsov stumbles upon him, whom the Germans instructed to burn pioneer ties, and he deceived them and escaped from the camp. Delighted with such a meeting, Mishka asks Uncle Vasya to help rescue the boys from German captivity. The tanker agrees. A single tank with one small assistant begins an operation to rescue the young pioneers. close

The Americans are swiftly closing on Okinawa, an island just south of the Japanese mainland. The Imperial command sends top generals and several army divisions to defend it at all costs. The mission quickly degenerates as vital resources and troops are diverted to other islands. After a civilian evacuation ends in tragedy most of non-combatants are forced to remain on the island. Many convert to soldier status. Tokyo sends mixed messages that squander time and resources, as when they order the defenders to build an airstrip for aircraft that never come. The truth soon becomes obvious: the high command decides that the island cannot be held and effectively abandons the Okinawan defenders. When the Americans land many troops are deployed in the wrong places. As the slaughter mounts, a suicidal attitude takes hold. Okinawa becomes a death trap, for civilian volunteers and non-combatants as well. close
