On June 22nd, 1941, the same day that the German army attacked the Soviet Union, the defenders of the Brest Fortress were among the first to face the invaders in battle.
The artillery barrage and the following swift advance of the Germans caught the fortress’s large garrison by surprise. Those who failed to break out had to fight an uneven battle within its walls. Despite having the advantage of surprise, only after a week of fighting, with the support of tanks, aircraft, and artillery, were the German forces able to crush the main pockets of resistance and capture the fortress by June 30th. But even after that, a few surviving soldiers, hiding in the catacombs, continued to fight against the German army until July 23th.

Uncollected rewards will disappear when the tasks change.

Besides the pistol/pic all the rewards are for all game nations, im quite sure of that.
Otherwise fantastic job with the mini events, having something to grind for like this is always helpful for completionists and players who want silver/custom orders.
Hope u guys have the time to keep these up without impacting ur schedule!
A bit disappointed that we didn’t get a proper big event with event squads, especially since major update events usually come the day after the patch launch, or earlier. But you never know what kind of shit the devs have to deal with behind the scenes.
My only gripe with the Voevodin pistol, otherwise a nice and useful reward, is that my collector instinct made me pick one in the first event where it was available…
…instead of one more Breda PG, which I regret ever since.
