...more than 700 miles into Russia when his elite Sixth Army and panzer units were sent to take Stalingrad in August 1942. As squadrons of Luftwaffe dive bombers darkened the skies above, German troops surged into the city and, toward the north, broke through to the Volga. But Stalin had issued a grim order: "Not one step backward." With their backs to the river's edge, the Russians dug in determinedly.
