Battlelines® - Streets of Stalingrad

After a whirlwind summer blitzkrieg, the German Fourth Panzer and Sixth armies found themselves on the outskirts of Stalingrad. The city straggled for over 25 miles along the west bank of the Volga River. It was a well-built, modern city and included some truly massive factory buildings. Furthermore, it was filled with determined defenders who were provided with substantial support by artillery massed on the east bank of the river. The fighting in the streets of Stalingrad was murderous at times seeing ten thousand casualties in a single day. Whole divisions of the Red Army went into the defense of the city and never came back out. The Germans were no better off, the training in maneuver warfare was of little use on a battlefield that treated objectives that were yards away and yet unreachable except with the most determined assault.

Battlelines®: Streets of Stalingrad is an operation in the Stalingrad campaign that pits the 100th Jäger Division and the 112th Rifle Division in a deadly struggle in the streets of Stalingrad.
