And the Dawns Here Are Quiet... Tomorrow Was War

Five very young girls-anti-aircraft gunners, under the command of a sergeant, enter into an unequal battle with a group of German saboteurs. This great, yet not included in the military events reports, feat is the story "And the Dawns Here Are Quiet..." – a masterpiece of Russian "military prose", one of the most poignant and tragic works about the Great Patriotic War. The action of the story "Tomorrow Was War" takes place on the eve of the Great Patriotic War. It is a story about schoolchildren, their coming of age, their first moral choices and confrontations, a story about graduates who will soon have to take up arms and go to the front – to defend their Homeland.
