By the end of the first week of November 1942, the German Sixth
Army held about 90 per cent of Stalingrad. Yet the Soviets
stubbornly held on to the remaining parts of the city, and German
casualties started to reach catastrophic levels. In an attempt to
break the deadlock, Hitler decided to send additional German
pioneer battalions to act as an urban warfare spearhead. These
combat engineers were skilled in all aspects of city fighting,
especially in the use of demolitions and small arms to overcome
defended positions and in the destruction of armoured vehicles.
Facing them were hardened Soviet troops who had perfected the use
of urban camouflage, concealed and interlocking firing positions,
close quarters battle, and sniper support. This fully illustrated
book explores the tactics and effectiveness of these opposing
troops during this period, focusing particularly on the brutal
close-quarters fight over the Krasnaya Barrikady (Red Barricades)
ordnance factory.
