The Red Army has broken through the Axis lines down South, near Stalingrad. Temperatures as low as -40° and 11 Russian encirclement lines are now awaiting them. They will have to fight through all of them if they want to survive. (Ugo Balzari wrote a book on his war experience. You can find the cover at the end of the video.)
