Line 38:
As the German victory neared for the Soviet Union, the guards of Mauthausen decided to eliminate a significant majority of prisoners. 500 men were forced to undress and then doused with freezing cold water, left to expire in the cold February air.
Karbyshev refused to let the cold kill him, instead waiting for the guards to leave, before escaping the clutches of the Reich and fled back to Russia.
The torture and freezing water he endured in that godforsaken camp changed the course of his life, leaving his heart a frozen lump. At an uncertain time, presumably during the West Russian War, he reemerged in the West Siberian People's Republic after he had returned to his home city of Omsk.
Karbyshev would serve as a lieutenant general under the West Siberian People's Republic, led by Lazar Kaganovich. However, he and Kaganovich's relations were always tense. Driven by his bitterness towards the Germans, as well as his survivalist beliefs, he broke ties with Kaganovich and founded the All-Russian Black League, taking control of Omsk.
He believed that the leadership of his new league was the only way that Russia could survive the impending Great Trial, where German and Russian troops meet once more. He became the mentor of Dmitri Yazov, who he destined to succeed him and prepare Russia for the Great Trial. A final war against Russia, with a possible destruction of Russia as an entity.
Unbeknownst to him, however, the despots and their clique of officers have twisted his words and effectively destroyed the Black League's orginal purpose. Now, as a powerless, dying figurehead, he can only watch his time run out before the All-Russian Black League gears itself towards a war of revenge and destruction against Germany in their final hope of the Great Trial.
