In August 1942, a young girl, barefoot, wearing a faded gray dress, walked along the streets of Nazi-occupied Minsk. She had boy’s shoes hanging on her shoulder and had a small basket in her hands. This is how Tatyana Bauer, a former Moscow schoolgirl and young intelligence officer, came to Minsk. For about two years she carried out her difficult combat missions here – she delivered serious information, was a scout, and then a saboteur. Every hour she was in danger of being captured by the Nazis. But the Komsomol member did not leave her combat post. She died three weeks before the liberation of Minsk. Writer Max Polyanovsky dedicated his book to the feat of this young heroine.
