Historical Background:
After a first battle versus the defensive line on the heights of Toudountovo, south of Stalingrad, the 4.Panzer Armee under the command of General Hoth changed its attack and launched the 48. Armee Korps against Gavrilovka. On the 30th of August, the German armored units broke the Soviet line and made a bridgehead, allowing the 24.Panzer Division to advance towards the southern suburbs of Stalingrad. The battle for the city of Stalingrad could begin.
