Beware the Wolves by Victor Moss
A young Soviet doctor serving in battle is taken prisoner by the Nazis. Neither he nor his love knows each others fate, but both are determined to survive against-the-odds and be together again. This historical novel is based on a true story during World War II.
Behind the Story
Vladimir Moskalkov, a medical doctor serving in the Soviet army, is taken prisoner of war by the Nazis. It is a daily ordeal marked by starvation, thirst, physical exhaustion, torment, life-threatening illness and constant degradation. He watched his war buddies struggle to stay alive, most of them eventually shot to death by the Nazis or destroyed by disgustingly inhumane conditions. Only Vladimir’s astonishing will to live and see his lovely young wife again keeps him from being one of the 2.8 million prisioners-of-war who perished during the first eight months after the Nazi invasion.

More viscerally powerful and inspiring than fiction, Beware the Wolves depicts the overwhelming, and often cruel, odds faced by survivors of the Nazi occupation. Set amidst the terrifying and unexpected Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, it is an enduring tribute to an extraordinary young married couple who risk everything, including their lives, in order to be reunited. Even life-threatening circumstances cannot stop Vladimir and Slava Moskalkov from putting their love for each other first and taking perilous steps to be reunited after an agonizing separation.
