Italeri 1/72 USSR INF WINTER WWII 6069

In February 1943, the VI German Army led by General Von Paulus surrendered at Stalingrad. The victory of the Red Army, an important turning point of World War II, became a symbol or Soviet resistance but also of the horrors of war. Street fighting in Stalingrad in the month of December and January took place with temperatures close to -40 C. The Red Army's winter equipment, remarkably better than the Wehrmacht's, was decisive during the battle.
