This is a story about events taking place in the Korsun-Shevchenkov region. The enemy's grouping was located there, preventing two Ukrainian fronts from uniting and moving further to the Southern Bug. The task was set clearly and uncompromisingly - to destroy the enemy. The generals of the two armies Vatutin and Konev think over everything to the smallest detail, no mistakes can be made.
