Iron Cross - The War in the East

Jurgen stayed low, crawling over rubble. Soviet machine-gun fire from a Maxim HMG blasted bits of brickwork off the wall he was pressed against. In Stalingrad, to be seen was to die.

The rest of Jurgen's squad were crouched own, staying well out of sight. Klaus and Munsch began checking the fuel tanks and regulators of their flame-throwers. Hendrich finished wrapping wire around a grenade bundle. Palluck honed the edge of his entrenching tool.

Jurgen looked through a crack in the wall. The Russians inside waited nervously for the Germans to come through. With a nod from Jurgen, Heinrich threw his primed grenade bundle through a hole blasted in the wall. The Squad flinched as the explosion threw debris and smoke out of the opening. Jurgen waved the squad forward.

'Klaus! Munsch! You're up!'

By the end of 1941, the German blitzkrieg had swept across open plains of the Soviet Union and stopped at the gates of Moscow as winter set in. The halt was only temporary as the Germans were back on the offensive in the summer 1942. The attack sliced into the southern front, aiming at the oilfields of the Caucasus. Two army groups charged forward, one heading to the mountain country in the south, the other focused on a small city on the Volga River called Stalingrad. The unstoppable German offensive was pushing Soviet morale to a breaking point as the most pivotal battles on the Eastern Front were about to be fought on the streets of Stalingrad and in the Russian Steppe.

• Background on the German Army and its 1942 summer offensive in Russia, the Caucasus, and the pivotal Battle of Stalingrad.
• Instructions on how to build a Panzer III Tank Company, Panzer IV Tank Company, Panzergrenadier Company or Grenadier Company.

Enemy at the Gates - The War in the East

Pyotr hesitated. Three deep breaths, a muttered curse, and he risked a quick glance around the carcass of the huge press he sheltered behind. Panting, he rested against the shattered machinery. The Germans were still there. Good. No need to hunt them down then.

Grigoriy looked at him expectantly, smiling as Pyotr nodded. Checking the magazine of his PPSh submachine-gun one more time, he glanced along the line. Everyone was ready, grenade in hand.

Another deep breath, then he shoved himself to his feet, swinging his submachine-gun to line up with the Germans as four grenades arced through the air towards the. As the first grenade exploded, Pyotr poured a long burst into the three grouped on the left.

Pushing around the ruined press, he ducked after his comrades, shouting 'Urrah!' as he slid to a halt amongst the German bodies. Another few metres of the Motherland cleared of the invaders. Only a thousand kilometres to go!

Despite being thrown back from the gates of Moscow in the winter offensive, the Germans were back on the attack in the summer of 1942. The Red Army launched offensive after offensive to throw the invaders back, but nothing could stop them from overrunning southern Russia and reaching the Volga River at Stalingrad. In the bitter street fighting of autumn, the Red Army bled the Germans dry. Then, as winter set in, they launched another round of offensives that regained all that they had lost.

Inside you will find:

• Background on the Soviet Army, the pivotal Battle of Stalingrad, and the 1942 offensives to cut off the Germans at Rahev and Stalingrad.
• Instructions on how to build a Mixed Tank Battalion, T-34 Tank Battalion, M3 Lee Tank Battalion, Rifle Battalion, or Hero Rifle Battalion.
