There's nothing good about war, but there is good in why we fight it...
It is September 1st, 1942.
It has been barely over a week since soldiers of Nazi Germany, under the command of Friedrich Wilhelm Ernst Paulus were sent into the city of Stalingrad after extensive bombing of the city by the Luftwaffe. The initial defense of the city fell to a unit of nearly all female volunteers manning anti-aircraft guns, with no choice but to turn those guns on the German tanks that entered the city. Inevitably, these first defenders were defeated. The Luftwaffe had nearly destroyed the Red Army's capabilities to get reinforcements and supplies over the River Volga, but eventually the Soviets had regained enough control of the situation to being sending a steady stream of troops into the area, though as they crossed the Volga they were still losing a large amount of their barges to German pilots' strafing runs on the boats. Soldiers land, one given a rifle and the other given ammunition, to follow the man with the rifle until he is cut down, lacking supplies to arm all of their men.
The civilians in the city had been put to work building trenches and fortifications under the wishes of their leader, Josef Stalin. Most of them stayed in the city, and are either dead, or ready to die, defending their homes from the invaders ferociously. With them, the Red Army is beginning to make their presence felt in the city once more. What was once the city of Stalingrad, and now mostly bombed-out rubble and ruin, has become the scene for one of the bloodiest battles in history. The streets are littered with bodies and the combat is close, and the onset of winter will come soon, freezing out many of the combatants. It will not stop the fight, however.
You are a soldier--or perhaps, civilian--caught in this struggle for what is now nothing more than a patch of ruined city on the steppes. Regardless of how you feel about the fighting or the cause, cowardice is punished on both sides, brutally. There is nothing more to do but fight on, and stay alive for as long as possible amongst the streets of the world's bloodiest pile of rubble.
