The Battle for Moscow in 1941-1942 lasted more than seven months and was one of the bloodiest in WW2 history. Ahead of Victory Day, RT recalls what it took to defend the capital.
Perhaps I missed it but I can find no mention one of the most famous person involved in this battle. Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zukhov. He seems a much better candidate than Stalin for the leading, individual, role in defeating the German army. Of course the main determinant in the defeat of the fascist forces was the incredible fortitude and courage of the peoples of the USSR. In the history of the world there has been no siege as brutal as the siege of Leningrad. Nor a foe as terrifying as Nazis Germany. Not everyone in Europe has forgotten the debt Europe owes to the millions of Russians who died in the most titanic struggle of the twenty century.
