Description

By the end of the first week of November 1942, the German Sixth Army held about 90 percent of Stalingrad. Yet the Soviets stubbornly held on to the remainder parts of the city, and German casualties began to achieve catastrophic levels. In an try to break the deadlock, Hitler made up our minds to send additional German pioneer battalions to act as an urban warfare spearhead. These combat engineers were skilled in all aspects of city fighting, especially in the usage of demolitions and small arms to conquer defended positions and in the destruction of armored vehicles. Facing them were hardened Soviet troops who had perfected the usage of urban camouflage, concealed and interlocking firing positions, close quarters battle, and sniper give a boost to.

This fully illustrated book explores the tactics and effectiveness of these opposing troops all over this period, focusing particularly at the brutal close-quarters fight over the Krasnaya Barrikady (Red Barricades) ordnance factory.
