Company of Heroes 2 - Mission 01 Stalingrad Rail Station (Cheating Gamer Plays)

Germany and USSR signed a pact of non-aggression before the invasion of Poland in 1939, but their alliance would be short-lived. In the summer of 1941, Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa, ordering four million German soldiers to invade the Soviet Union across a front spanning three thousand kilometers. During the first months of Barbarossa, Stalin and his generals struggled to mount a defense, but soon the Germans had pushed too far into a vast nation protected by a massive army and a hostile winter. By the fall of 1942, the German army had reached Stalingrad (now Volgograd), but the city was far from defenseless. Lev Isakovich met thousands of conscripts on the shores of the Volga River, where he ushered them into the besieged city.
“The Red Army and Navy and the whole Soviet people must fight for every inch of Soviet soil, fight to the last drop of blood for our towns and villages. Onward to victory!” -Joseph Stalin
