September 1942

Eastern Front

The newly committed 13th Guards attack from its small bridgehead, crashing into the 71st Infantry Division. Bitter battles rage for control of the central railway station, which changes hands frequently. Other elements of the 13th Guards launch a fierce attack upon the Mamayev Kugan, hitting the 295th Infantry Division. While the 13th Guards launch its attacks, the 71st and 295th Infantry Divisions again try to push into the city center. To the south, the 94th Infantry, 24th and 14th Panzer Divisions fight their way through Dar Gova, Mnina and Yelshanka as they try to smash open the junction of the 64th and 62nd Armies at Kuporosnoye. During the night, Chuikov brings more units of the 13th Guards across the Volga into Stalingrad.
