The German 6th Army had been trying to cut of Rodimtsev’s 13th Guards from the rest of the 62nd Army. On the night of 1-2 October, the Germans had decided to try a new ploy by infiltrating 300 men from Infanterie-Division 295 down the main drain beside the Krutoy Gully. Once free of the drain they were to attack south into the rear of the 13th Guards Division. To support this raid, the remainder of Infanterie-Division 295 was to launch powerful attacks against the center and left in the area around 9th January Square.

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.
