Pavlov's House: You Shall Not Past
Stalingrad. September 1942. Story of Pavlov's house, 30 Soviet union soldiers had barricaded in 4 story residential building, for last stand against attacking German army
The defenders turned the apartment complex into a stronghold, fortifying it with barricades, trenches, and machine-gun positions. Despite relentless German assaults, the Soviet soldiers, numbering around 30, managed to hold the building for nearly two months
By November, it is said that, after most assaults, Pavlov and the other defenders had to run out between lulls in the fighting and kick down piles of dead Germans so the corpses wouldn't block their view of the next assault
Pavlov and the others held out in their building for 58 days, until November 25, when the Red Army counterattacked and they were relieved
