Throughout the grueling month of October, determined and costly German assaults had managed to steadily shrink the Soviet defensive perimeter. But no one man, soldier or commander, could grasp the scope of the confused battle raging in the ruins. One such was Sgt. Esser, now leading the remnants of the 64th Motorcycle Battalion in an assault on the southern corner of the Red Barricade ordnance factory. Across the street lay his company commander and platoon leader, both dead; at his side the last officer was dying. Only sixty men remained from his company. Suddenly Esser went berserk. Leaping to his feet, he screamed “Forward” and charged across the street.

Stalingrad, Russia

In the Battle of Stalingrad, Germany and its allies fought the Soviet Union for control of the city of Stalingrad in Southern Russia. Marked by fierce close-quarters combat and direct assaults on civilians in air raids, it is one of the bloodiest battles in the history of warfare, with an estimated 2 million total casualties. After their defeat at Stalingrad, the German High Command had to withdraw considerable military forces from the Western Front to replace their losses.
