Brest Fortress, formally known as Brest-Litovsk Fortress is a Russian 19th century fortress in Brest, Belarus. In 1965, the title Hero Fortress was awarded to the Fortress to commemmorate the defence of the frontier stronghold during the first week of the Great Patriotic War.
At 04:15 (Moscow time) June 22, 1941 the German Wehrmacht attacked the Brest fortress with no warning. The attack started with an artillery barrage, including 600 mm mortars of the second battery of the Heavy Artillery Battalion 833 Nr. III ("Thor") and Nr. IV ("Odin").[3] The defenders were taken by surprise and failed to form a solid front. By 09:00, the fortress was completely surrounded. The last defended object in the fortress was taken by June 29.
About 6,800 Soviet soldiers and commanders were captured, with approximately 2,000 soldiers and officers being killed. The Germans lost nearly 430 killed soldiers and officers.
Hitler and Mussolini visited the fortress on August 26, 1941.
The defence of the Brest Fortress is regarded as a vivid example of patriotism, courage and the heroism of soldiers. The fortress was liberated in 1944.
In the late 1960s, the construction of the war memorial complex "Brest Hero Fortress" was started. The complex was opened on September 25, 1971
