The night to September 15, 1942, saw the most critical hours of the first assault in Stalingrad, when General Rodimtsev's 13th Guards Rifle Division fought back the forward German units in City Center, thus preventing its complete capture in three days as planned by General Paulus. Thanks to Brad Golding for the narration.
Special thanks to Egor Kobiakov and Denis Golubev for providing some of the photos.
