Description
The Don River played a significant role in the Soviet Union’s defense against the invading German forces. Serving as a natural barrier in the southern region of the country, the Don River became a crucial defensive line during the Battle of Stalingrad, a turning point in the war. Soviet troops, under the leadership of General Georgy Zhukov, utilized the river’s strategic position to halt the German advance and ultimately encircle the Axis forces in the city. The ferocity of the fighting along the banks of the Don River, coupled with the harsh winter conditions, tested the resolve and resilience of both sides. The Soviet Union’s success in defending the Don River and repelling the German offensive marked a pivotal moment in the war, shifting momentum in favor of the Allies.
