Alexei Kalinov Axis Forces are Advancing and the Red Army is in retreat. But in the city of Stalingrad the situation changes. German radio announces: "we are in the streets of Stalingrad, we will not go off the air until we hear that Stalingrad is ours". A promising Russian Machine Gunner becomes a sniper, while Russian reinforcements cross the Volga they are commanded by a natural born leader(Powers Boothe). Germany summons a retired Sniper to return to the front. German casualties mount as Russian snipers become more efficient. The battle becomes a stalemate until the Red Army encircles the Army Group B Command.
