The date of the end of the defense of Sevastopol is traditionally considered to be July 3, 1942, when the Sovinformburo reported that Soviet troops had left the city. However, the work with the documents led the author of this book to an unambiguous conclusion: Sevastopol fought for about two weeks after the designated date — at least until the second decade of July, when the enemy suppressed the last pockets of organized defense. The Soviet troops did not leave the city, they remained in Sevastopol. The report of the commander of the Sevastopol defensive area F.S. Oktyabrsky contains the words: "The remaining troops are very tired, trembled." But, as it turned out, this is not quite true…This book is about those who did not "falter". The book examines the period from June 28 to July 16, 1942, when the last battle of the Sevastopol defense took place. As a result of working with German archival documents, it was possible to find out where it occurred. Search work on the ground allowed to identify its traces and link them to modern landmarks.
