November 1942

Eastern Front

The battle for Stalingrad rages for the next few days as the German attacks begin to overwhelm the 62nd Army. With floating ice on the Volga, the Soviets have difficulty sending supplies across the river and the 62nd begins to run short of food and ammunition. The men cut off at Rynok and Spartakovka suffer badly, coming under sustained attack from the 16th Panzer Division. This group, commanded by Gorokhov, is down to just 300 men but continue to fight on. Chuikov is forced to admit that the end is in sight for the 62nd Army.
