Something about the battle :

The battle for fort Brest begun on 22nd of June 1941. The battle started by a bombardment of the fort by artillery and nebelwerfers.The bombardment caught the people inside the fort unaware and inflicted heavy cassulties.Although the Soviet soldiers in the opening hours of the battle were stunned by the surprise attack, outnumbered, short of supplies, and cut off from the outside world, many of them held out much longer than the Germans expected. The Germans deployed various powerful guns, rocket mortars 15 cm Nebelwerfer 41, and resorted to flame throwers.

The civilians inside the fortress tended the wounded, reloaded the machine-gun discs and belts with cartridges, and even took up rifles to help defend the fortress. Children brought ammunition and food supplies from half-destroyed supply depots, scavenged weapons, and watched enemy movements.

After eight days of fierce fighting the Germans had captured the whole fortress. But the strategic objectives - control over the Panzerrollbahn I, i.e. the road to Moscow, the important railway line, and the bridges over the Bug river - were accomplished the very first day of the war. Because of the high German losses the German High Command demanded General Fritz Schlieper to present a detailed report regarding combat at Brest 22–29 June 1941. It was made on July 8, 1941. A copy was captured by the Red Army near the town of Livny, Russia in winter 1941/1942.

Some individual soldiers and maybe even small groups of Red Army soldiers kept hiding in the fortress after the fall of the Eastern Fort. After the war graffitis were found on some fortress walls. They became iconic symbols of the defense. One of them said: "We'll die but we'll not leave the fortress", another: "I'm dying but I won't surrender. Farewell, Motherland. 20.VII.41.
