Overview:

"Forward!" -- On 25 October, Panzer Regiment 36 attacked Bread Factory No. 2, a part of the Red Barricade factory complex. Almost immediately German soldiers ran into heavy fire. Sergeant Esser, suddenly the ranking man after his company commander and platoon leader were both killed, leapt to his feet, shouting "vorwart!" His platoon followed across a wide courtyard, dodging enemy bullets along the way. A stone's throw across the street the German Rifle Regiment 103 also struggled through ruined buildings and bomb craters led by an NCO, one Lieutenant Stempel. Some two dozen of his men reached the banks of the Volga, only to face counter-attacks by determined enemy soldiers. A call for reinforcements by Stempel turned up seventy additional German solders.
