So suddenly they get into this assault for Stalingrad.

And it becomes this sort of street fight.

And it becomes this sort of street fight. Street fighting is the worst kind of fighting. I mean, the reason why the Israelis have just blown everything up in Gaza is because otherwise you can't see. You know, you need a field of fire. This is a fighting in a buildup area is horrendous. Yeah, to clarify, we're talking about urban warfare, door to door, building to building.

It's incredibly difficult. And home advantage is colossal in this instance. And, of course, it's piping hot when they attack in kind of August into early September, and then it suddenly gets very, very cold. And at the same time, American mechanization, and slightly a British mechanization, but primarily American trucks, are enabling Zhukov to plan this great pincer movement.

So it is, you know, and Russians will hate me for saying this, and I probably will get a whole load of bots on the back of it, but the truth is... It is not the street fighting that destroys Sikfami. It is the encirclement, the subsequent encirclement. So the Germans have been sucked into this street battle in Stalingrad. We cannot give up. We cannot give up. We cannot back down.
