|
Hell at the South-West Front |
|
Near Kletskaja village |
|
Katyusha lunchers introducing |
|
Voronovs barrage |
|
A hail of 80 minutes lasting |
|
Screaming shrapnell steel |
|
Grinding stunned Rumanians |
|
In disorder they flee |
|
Falling on soil that never was theirs |
|
Mercilessly chased by unknown heirs |
|
Dying eyes meet furious Soviet wrath |
|
Cautiously determined, striking hard |
|
Meanwhile from the Donfront |
|
Comes the second assault |
|
A large number of forces |
|
Impossible to halt |
|
Chaos is complete |
|
As a third attack begins |
|
Pincer movements leading all |
|
Towards the Kalatsj bridge |
|
MGs rip and tear throught hardened flesh |
|
Massive seem the dark tank silhouettes |
|
Invulnerable deadly T-34 |
|
Hear the Sturmoviks in the sky roar |
|
Essential coordination |
|
As important as speed |
|
Don't give Fritz the time |
|
To get back on his frozen feet |
|
The brave heroic 62nd |
|
Of Tsjukov stood its ground |
|
Between Don and Volga |
|
Soldiers bodies mount |
|
Now surrounding according to plan |
|
330,000 men |
|
Left to die without ammo or food |
|
The crucial offensive of World War Two |
