Brief Description of the Quest: Within the area of responsibility of the 69th Infantry Division of the First U.S. Army, near the German city of Torgau, one of the senior officers — Colonel Ryan — disappears together with classified documents. American military counterintelligence discovers that the kidnapping was organized by the elusive enemy sabotage group “Z-19,” operating independently behind the lines. According to the latest information, the group is now located in the sector controlled by Soviet forces. The American command requests assistance from the command of the 1st Ukrainian Front… By a strange twist of fate, this very colonel turns out to be a long-established Soviet intelligence agent.

Captain Petrov of the 58th Guards Division receives orders to assemble a team of the finest soldiers and set out in search of the missing operative, who possesses highly valuable information. During the rescue mission of the “Soviet American,” the unit must secretly move through enemy territory, carry out mine-clearing operations, and translate documents marked “Top Secret.” Qualities such as agility, courage, resourcefulness, intelligence, physical fitness, and a strong sense of duty and responsibility will help the team complete the mission with minimal losses.
