    Pavlov’s House
    The stronghold of the 13th Guards was located at the bombed out NKVD headquarters, a soviet government law enforcement agency. From this location, the troops resisted the initial German assault and took to improving their defensive position. On September 25th, the commander of the 42nd Guards Rifle Regiment ordered the men of his 3rd Rifle Battalion to capture two buildings that seemed like a good position for setting up a defense against German attacks. Junior Sergeant Yakov Fedotovich Pavlov of the 13th Guards Rifle Division was tasked with seizing one of the buildings at the edge of the 9th January Square. On September 27th, followed by three soldiers from his squad, Pavlov entered the building under the cover of night and drove the defending Germans out of it. Once in their hands, the commander of the 42nd regiment designated it “Pavlov’s House”.

    Fun Fact: Despite being the sight of one of the bloodiest battles in history Stalingrad was barely mentioned in the original plans to take the Caucuses. Originally the 6th army was to keep going south to the Caucuses along with the other German armies. At most Stalingrad was supposed to be surrounded and shelled to disrupt Soviet resupply and to keep the Red Army there pinned down to prevent counterattacks.

Stalingrad was a known supply hub for the Soviets so capturing it or destroying it would be another blow to the Soviet war effort and the Germans could also set up defensive positions along the Volga River.

      A bit difficult, given that the population was lower than 500k. You are counting red army+Wehrmacht casualties together (or maybe confusingn with Leningrad?). Not evacuating the civilians is also disputed, since there were orders since mid August for doing so, and population at the moment of the city invasion seems to be around 100k. About 40k were taken as slaves by the Germans, with some more 10k being evacuated by the soviets during the fight.

      @@tomhenry897 It's sad, but it is very hard to evacuate civilians across a river in a active war zone. There was no way the Soviets could spare the soldiers to oversee the evacuation of civilians, even the NKVD was involved in direct fighting (thats when you know the defense was getting desperate). Not to mention that there would be no way across the Volga. All the boats, even rowing boats was being constantly used to ferry across soldiers and equipment. losing those boats would increase the likelihood that Stalingrad would fall, a prospect that couldn't be left to chance given the fact the Germans had pushed them all the way to the banks of the Volga at one point. Only when the front had stabilized and troops could be spared were the civilians evacuated, albeit some would remain, whether out of choice or being forgotten by the authorities.

    About the quote in 8:33, on the Germans losing more men fighting for Pavlov's House than in the capture of Paris.
    This is one of those "facts" that are *technically* true, but really misleading. During the German invasion of France, the French didn't want the Germans to destroy Paris by aerial bombing. This happened before in other major European cities, most notably Warsaw and Rotterdam. As a result, the French positioned their defenses only on the approaches to Paris, and when those failed, they declared Paris an open city, and gave it up without any further fighting.
    So technically yes, the Germans lost very few, if any, men entering Paris. But they did suffer losses in the fighting outside Paris.

    The German probably lost more men while trying to take the house than the whole Europe combined.

    What is also quite well known is that a lot of this is in fact Soviet propaganda, with the house not even being called Pavlov's house by the soldiers who were in it, it was a side objective of an inactive part of the front for the Germans, it received regular reinforcements which meant that a lot of the men involved were cycled in or out and the lions share of the work in holding it was on the Soviet artillery who's support is what caused most casualties and broke up most attacks.
    This has been known since the 90's as a good few of the veterans had bones to pick with the official story, especially as the officer who actually captured the house and died defending it was written out of it, with Pavlov being his subordinate who wasn't even there for the whole thing.

    8:25 General Chuikov's observation that "The Germans lost more men in front of Pavlov's house than in the capture of Paris," doesn't really say much as Paris was an "open city," undefended and surrendered immediately after the Germans appeared, consequently unless a German soldier got drunk and fell into the Seine he had very little chance of dying during the capture of Paris.
