On 21 September, Lt. Anton Dragan and the remnants of his company from the 1st Battalion, 42nd Guards Regiment fell back to a three-story building on the corner of Komsomolskaya and Krasnopeterskaya, which they fortified. For the next five days, Dragan and forty men defended the strongpoint, turning away countless attacks. In a show of defiance, Dragan ordered a red banner be raised above the building. After the flag was hoisted over the strongpoint, Dragan’s orderly Kozhushko shouted, “Bark you dogs! We’ve still got a long time to live!”

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.
