2021: THE ATTACK OF THE DEAD
The Battle of Osowiec, 1915
The Battle of Osowiec in 1915 was darkly horrifying despite the bright summer's morning. The Germans gassed the stubborn Russian defenders of the Osowiec Fortress with a vicious mix of chlorine and bromine, killing every single one.
Or so they thought.
Because as the Germans advanced they spotted a single figure jerk suddenly upright, skin blistered and torn, eyes peeled back, teeth bared where lips had once been.
The dead had risen and now they were coming for their revenge.
