Alright guys! Ready for more?
Now, first of all, if you can remember, I said my most favorite conflict was the Eastern Front during the Second World War, in my Q and A. And to me, no battle demonstrates Soviet courage and determination more than the Battle of Stalingrad.
And on Youtube, I would search around randomly for stuff to watch, you know and I saw this video title, "STALINGARD (2013) Epic battle HD" and I searched it up on google and it's actually a Russian movie.
It's about Pavlov's house, the story of a small group of Soviet soldiers led by Sergeant Yakov Pavlov who captured an apartment building and held it for two months under constant attacks by German infantry, tanks, and planes until they were relieved by other Soviet forces.
One last thing, all the Russians are Scarlet macaws and all the Germans are cockatoos in this recreation.
Oh and thank you to Tomadahawk for pressing the fav and follow!
Soviet Charge at Stalingrad
It's late 1942 and the battle for the Soviet city of Stalingrad was still raging on, the Russians hanging on with whatever they had to fight with, sometimes even with their bare hands against German tanks and dive bombers, but still the Russians stubbornly fought on, defending their positions to the last bullet, to the last bird.
In the city, in an apartment, Captain Alexei, with his small group of soldiers with him were fighting off constant German attacks. They had captured this building about a month ago, storming the German held position with their PPSHs and grenades and now turned it into a Russian stronghold to hold off the Germans and deny them the claim to the city.
The Germans were desperate and were using intimidation tactics to scare the Russians and lower their morale. And just outside the apartment building, there were a line of German soldiers, with their MP-40s and Kar-98s out, they had their weapons raised and pointed at line of Russian women, with their children, ready to shoot when the order was given.
And in fact…
One of the Russian woman, along with her newborn baby chick was forced into a wood cage of some sort, while a flamethrower soldier stood outside, pressing the trigger, the flamethrower squirted out its deadly jet of fire, igniting the wood. The woman inside screamed in horror, while the baby chick cried, literally being cooked to death, the line of Women outside could only stare in sadness and cover their children's eyes.
In the apartment building, Captain Alexei was angry as he looked at what the Germans were doing through a pair of binoculars.
"Dammit!" Alexei shouted as he ran to grab a Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle.
Picking it up and aiming it, he fired a shot, killing the woman in the flames to end her misery. Pulling the bolt back to allow for the next bullet to chamber, he then ended the poor baby chick's life. After he done that, he steadied the rifle and waited a second before firing it, hitting the flamethrower's pack of the deadly fuel, which ignited and burnt the flamethrower soldier and another soldier besides him.
After the flamethrower was down, Captain Alexei shouted for his men to charge. While down on the street the Russian women and children fled, the German soldiers getting into position.
"For the Motherland!" Captain Alexei shouted down on the bottom floor, firing a shot from his pistol while his men ran down the stairs to charge out. "Attack, attack!"
Kicking the door, Alexei led the charge, pistol in one wing firing at the Germans and the other, a knife. As Alexei charged out, the soldier besides him got shot, bullets ripping into him as he dropped his rifle. The German soldiers, likewise, charged at the incoming Russians, the commanding officer, a captain named Nigel, was firing his MP-40 while behind him a German soldier was shot down, blindly firing his own MP-40.
As the Russians charged out with determination, both Russian and German soldiers fell from bullets as the Russians made for the trenches in front of the building. And quite quickly, melee combat came as soldiers used their rifle butts and knives to fight. One of the German soldiers falling onto a Russian soldier with his rifle, the Russian grabbing the rifle and began wrestling with the German.
Captain Alexei charging alongside with his men as he picked up a small shovel, jumping over a trench, he met a German soldier with a rifle, who was ready to thrust his bayonet. However Alexei just grabbed the end of the rifle with his wing and swung the shovel against the rifle, disorienting the German as Alexei hit the German in the face with the shovel.
As it showed another Russian soldier kicking out a German with his rifle butt, Alexei was finishing off his target, throwing the German in the air and then striking him down with his shovel. Another German was running to Alexei and started firing off his MP-40 and would have killed Alexei if a grenade didn't kill the German.
Another Russian soldier swung his rifle at his enemy, only to miss and for the German to hit his rifle across the Russian, but the Russian grabbed it and wrestled it away from the German. And another Russian soldier was finishing off his enemy, sticking a knife in the German and twisting it.
A German soldier in another spot was doing the same as he swung his knife and killed a Russian, only to be killed himself by a couple of pistol shots. Another Russian, with a captured MP-40, blocked a German's rifle and then kicked the German to the ground and then swung his weapon at another German across the face, the German drawing blood from his beak.
Meanwhile Captain Nigel was trying to lead his men, taking cover in a trench as he fired off his Luger pistol and killed a Russian.
"Froward, froward!" Nigel yelled as he took out a stick grenade, a couple of German soldiers getting blew by a grenade themselves near Nigel.
As the fight continued, a Russian soldier was laying down at the ground, at the mercy of a German soldier as the German was going to stab his enemy with his bayonet, if Captain Alexei wasn't right next to them and killed the German with his pistol, the Russian would surely have been killed right there.
Alexei continued killing Germans, lunging for one with his knife. As he fought with the German, he punched the German across the face and used that time to grab his rifle, shooting the German dead through the chest. Pulling the bolt back to fire the next bullet, Alexei targeted Nigel, who was struggling to reload his Luger. Nigel would have been dead, if a German didn't come and and launch himself at Alexei, the two falling to the ground. Alexei managed to fight off his attacker and using his knife, slashed it across the German's throat.
The other Russian soldiers were beating down their German enemies, strangling them even. One of the Russian soldiers, with a PPSH threw down a German in a trench, the German yelling out as the Russian fired his PPSH. A German soldier threw a grenade, which blew up behind a Russian with a rifle as he stopped and helped up his comrade.
Now the Germans were really pushed back as they started to retreat. As one of them made his way out of the trench, Captain Alexei, with a Luger, shot at him. The pistol shot entering the German as soon as he grabbed Nigel's outstretched wing. The Russians established a fire line, firing away with their PPSH and Mosin-Nagants at the fleeing Germans.
Captain Nigel then heard a German soldier calling from behind.
"Mortars in position!" The German soldier shouted.
"Fall back, fall back!" Captain Nigel shouted to the German soldiers.
From a short distance back, a German mortar crew aimed their weapon. A German soldier then inserting the mortar round into the tube, then quickly covering his ears to block out the loud noise of the shot.
Captain Alexei was still firing away with the Luger he captured and as he emptied another clip, he heard the incoming mortar shots.
"Fall back!" Captain Alexei shouted to his men as the German kept firing off more mortar rounds.
As if everything suddenly went to slow motion, Captain Alexei, with his men ran back to the apartment building, the mortar rounds starting to explode around them as they made a run for it. They would make it back to the building, to live to fight the Germans another day and eventually kick them out of their city.
Well another recreation done!
Also, since this scene came from a Russian movie, the Russians speak Russian and the Germans speak German, so if any of my German and Russian readers saw the video, it would be a great help if you guys can correct me on the translation!
And hopefully I didn't offend any German or Russian person, that's not my intention here!
