[Event] Battle for Stalingrad



After the swift advances made by German armed forces during Operation Barbarossa and the opening stages of the War in the East, the Battle of Stalingrad marked a major turning point for the Soviet and Allied forces as a whole as the German advance was not only halted, but repelled all together. From August of 1942 onwards, some of the deadliest and most ferocious fighting of the war took place as the Red Army clashed with the wehrmacht’s Panzers and raids by the Luftwaffe in almost continuous bombardment. Soviet forces held the line and managed to exhaust and overwhelm the German forces forcing an eventual surrender of what forces remained after high command had forbidden a retreat.

From 15:00 GMT on the 9th of August until 07:00 GMT on the 12th of August

When we’re making videos with any sort of a top list, they are usually about different vehicles of War Thunder. This is not one of those videos; today we’ll be speaking about ammunition — or, more precisely, about tank shells with the biggest penetration rates.
