Only then did peasant-faced, tank-wise Vatutin (by now, for unannounced reasons, in full command) give the order to attack. His veteran troopers stood on the heights before Kiev and wept with anger and sorrow at the sight of flames eating through the city. Then, with fury in their hearts, they swept down upon...
