Pavlov's House was the name of a ffortified apartment building defended by Sergeant Yakov Pavlov during the Battle of Stalingrad. Even though it was only held by fewer than two down men at a time, it never fell to repeated German assaults. The small Soviet garrison surrounded the building with barbed wire and minefields, and established anti-tank and machine gun posts at the windows. It still stands as a symbol of courage to this day. The Soviet officer figure represents Sergeant Pavlov.

Not one step back!”

Hum....8 Soviet units deployed in defense behind the razor wire and the minefield are very difficult to beat. In my opinion the German player have very few opportunities to win.
