The Rats of Stalingrad

The Battle of Stalingrad remains one of the bloodiest and most decisive turning points of the Second World War, characterized by grueling house-to-house fighting. Red Army soldiers, often fighting with limited supplies in the freezing winter of 1942-1943, utilized aggressive close-combat tactics to bleed the German Sixth Army dry. Their stubborn refusal to retreat from the Volga's banks allowed for the eventual encirclement and destruction of the Axis forces in the city.\n\nThe set includes 5 Soviet infantry miniatures in realistic operational poses, featuring 1 kneeling soldier checking equipment, 1 standing submachine gunner with a PPSh-41, and 3 riflemen equipped with Mosin-Nagant rifles and iconic pilotka side caps. Each figure is rendered with historically accurate Gymnastyorka tunics and standard-issue Soviet webbing designed for high-intensity urban combat.
