The Stalingrad epic lasted from 17 July 1942 to February 2 1943 of the year. days and nights of hell: massive bombardments and heavy artillery fire. The defense line stretched for hundreds of kilometers from north to south, the struggle was fought for every street, for every house.
During the counteroffensive, the enemy army was defeated, the enemy was surrounded, Field Marshal F. Paulus, 24 General, 2.5 thousand people. officers and about 90 thousand soldiers surrendered. This military disaster demoralized Germany and their allies. The heroism and courage of the defenders of Stalingrad became a symbol of the valor, steadfastness and courage of our soldiers, the strength of the spirit of the Soviet people.
