Battle of Stalingrad: Russia's Great Patriotic War
The terrain immediately surrounding the city of Stalingrad covering some 60,000 square miles became the
focal point for one of the most decisive battles of World War Two between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, involving some one
million or more men, 2,000 tanks, 25,000 artillery pieces, and 2,300 aircraft. The German advance
on Stalingrad began on 17 July 1942, with von Paulus' 6.Armee taking the city in October and eventually encircled by the superior
Soviet forces. The Germans lost some 205,000 men in the Stalingrad pocket. Some 91,000 remaining troops were captured when
Paulus finally surrendered on 1 February 1943. According to some unofficial figures, the Soviet losses were more than 350,000
men lost, killed and wounded. This book consists of photos depicting Russian soldiers fighting in
and around Stalingrad. A wealth of information is focused on Soviet uniform, weapons and equipment used during this period
of time. Ronald Volstad, the world renowned artist for WWII figures, brings us 4 superb color plates featuring the Soviet
soldiers in 1942-1943. A good source of reference for collectors and modelers interested in the Soviet Army. Size: 8.5"x11",
