Into the screaming inferno of the Russian Front the Tank Battalions of Hitler's Penal Regiments were thrown. That was no surprise: these soldiers were pure cannon fodder to the German High Command men whose lives were considered expendable.

They stole and cheated in the manner of beasts, and died brutally and bloodily, fighting not only the enemy, but each other.
