A Soviet documentary chronicling the Battle of Stalingrad, one of the turning points of World War II. Filmed on the front lines, it depicts the brutal devastation of the city, the resilience of its defenders, and the eventual Soviet counteroffensive that encircled and defeated the German 6th Army. Released internationally—with the U.S. version retitled The City That Stopped Hitler: Heroic Stalingrad—the film served both as a record of the Red Army’s victory and as a powerful work of wartime propaganda.
