Nobody likes deserters, so now not only Russians, but also Germans are in danger – in order to survive, two comrades will have to kill soldiers dressed in the uniform that they themselves recently wore. Refusal to participate in the execution of civilians, sending to a penal battalion, a surprise attack by Soviet troops – and now Manfred and Ewald face a dilemma: die under bullets or save their own skin. They were driven to betrayal by fear for their lives. And the main characters (there are three of them in the “demo”, but there will obviously be more in the full version) are not at all heroic here – two deserters from the Wehrmacht army and a resident of a small village where this couple of former Nazis fled, who raised their weapons on their comrades. This is a story about how the global slaughter breaks people’s lives and destinies, and not a dashing adventure in the bright scenery of the Wild West, not a fascinating story about daredevils from a special forces unit. War Mongrels is trying to show the war from its darkest side – there is a striking contrast with Desperados and Commandos. The prototype of these executions was the massacres that really took place in the Lithuanian Ponar – according to some estimates, in just the years of the war, up to 100 thousand people were killed in the vicinity of this village by the Nazis. The actions of the Nazi troops in the occupied territories are known to everyone – the Nazis showed themselves too zealously in the “final solution of the Jewish question” and the implementation of the provisions of the Ost plan. War crimes, murders and torture of civilians and prisoners, desertion and betrayal – this, perhaps, is enough in any war, let alone the largest and most destructive armed conflict in the history of mankind.
