Captain Igor Volgin reached Berlin. But the long-awaited Victory did not become a turning point in his military fate. By a stroke of luck, he, fluent in languages and experienced in the operational work of a scout, found himself in Nuremberg, where at that time the trial against the leaders of the Third Reich was beginning. Becoming a member of the Soviet delegation, Volgin also received the long-awaited opportunity to search for traces of his missing brother, who disappeared in these parts during the war. However, at the moment when the first lead in the search was found, an unexpected twist occurred during the Nuremberg trial. Unbeknownst to him, the captain found himself once again on the front line…

The International Military Tribunal opened in Nuremberg on November 20, 1945, becoming an unprecedented event of the 20th century. For the first time, the main figures of an entire state appeared on the dock, accused of committing war crimes. Humanity, through joint efforts, condemned the German Nazis – the instigators of the world's greatest tragedy. The sentence to these criminals became a factual point in the history of the Second World War.
