Italeri 1/72 WWII Stalingrad Siege Diorama Set

The Battle of Stalingrad stands as a monumental turning point in World War II, marking a decisive moment in military history. Beginning in the summer of 1942, the Soviet Red Army engaged the German forces in a fierce struggle for control over the Volga and Don river regions. This conflict centered around the city of Stalingrad, which was heavily bombarded by German forces, leaving it in ruins and setting the stage for brutal urban warfare.

Among the key objectives for the German army was the capture of the industrial sector, notably the massive tractor factory that had been repurposed to produce T-34 tanks. Despite relentless bombing and artillery strikes, the Soviets launched a significant counteroffensive in November 1942, encircling the German troops. This maneuver culminated in the surrender of the German Sixth Army in early 1943, marking the beginning of the Soviet push towards Berlin.

This Italeri diorama set allows model enthusiasts to recreate the intricate details of this historic battle in 1/72 scale, offering a glimpse into the strategic and tactical elements that defined the siege.
