On 24 November, sappers arrived to deactivate the minefield surrounding "Pavlov's House", which they accomplished without being fired on. Shortly thereafter, Sgt. Pavlov received orders to attack a building that was about one hundred yards across the square. Standing on the edge of 9th January Square, the building which had formerly been a dairy was now a gutted ruin. Moving in small groups, the Russians advanced across the square toward the building known to the Germans as the Milchhaus.

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.
