In the game
The Soviet campaign opens with the deadly crossing of the Volga into the burning city.
History in brief
One of Europe’s longest rivers, the Volga ran behind the Soviet defenders of Stalingrad in 1942–43 and was their only supply route into the city.
The place today
Volgograd’s long riverside embankment follows the old front line, with Pavlov’s House a short walk inland.
