In 1939, native-born Polish and Belarusian citizen Sergei Bravo embarked on a journey to save his motherland from the Nazi regime's destructive forces, first as an air defense sergeant and later as a Soviet NKVD agent. In a war-torn country marred by the Holocaust, Sergei Bravo endures on battle after another to protect his homeland and preserve historical districts. Sergei also longs for home and his life as a teacher and marriage to Marta, a young Catholic woman who works at her father's bakery. Sergei leaves her on two occasions, first to defend Warsaw, and then to join the NKVD ranks but always vowing to return to Marta and stay by her side forever. Entrusted to serve alongside Major General Kovpak and his partisans in Ukraine, Sergei is confronted with his ultimate task: Save the medieval city of Krakow from the brink of destruction as the Nazis flee Eastern Europe and the Red Army begins its race to conquer Berlin.
Saving Krakow also chronicles the harsh rule of the General-Governor Hans Frank, over the General Government Administration. Frank loses support from Hitler as the Red Army's Marshal's Konev and Zhukov race to Berlin with plans of seizing Krakow on the way. Based on true events, this captivating story details an account of valor and heroism intricately interconnected with modern-day hostilities. Set amid a torrent of global conflict, espionage, and deep-rooted cultural tensions, Sergei must prevail in the supreme test of his loyalties, lest Krakow fall.
