The Barrier Squad

During one of the battles, repelling one attack after another, the soldiers of the detachment learn that an orphanage abandoned to the mercy of fate is dying behind the front line... Sacrificing themselves, detaining the Germans, exploding on mines to mark the way for children, the soldiers of the detachment die one after another.
