Changing of the Guard, Mamayev Kurgan Memorial, Russia. [05:37]
Memorial to Starlingrad heroes. Mamayev Hill Memorial is based in Volgograd (formaly known as Starlingrad). The Battle of Stalingrad began on 19 of August 1942 and ended on February 2, 1943. The first massive bombing of Stalingrad took place on 19 August 1942. By February 2nd 1943 Field Marshal Paulus, signed the unconditional surrender of his army. At that time Stalingrad was a major industrial center, producing, in particular, T-34 tanks. The Stalingrad area was the largest agricultural region. All this (the production of weapons and food) helped to win at that battle. The capture of this area was one of Hitler's strategic objectives. After the defeat near Moscow in 1941, Hitler renounced its capture and in 1942 directed his efforts to capture Stalingrad and the Caucasus. Caucasus - that is Baku oil. Winter, of course, played a role, but the key was in a fierce resistance both the civilian population and the army. In 1956, took place 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which denounced Stalin's personality cult and served as a starting point for the country's democratization in the postwar period. A byproduct of this was the renaming of Stalingrad which is now known as Volgograd.
