Daroga Square, Rostov, USSR 1942-07-28 (4 others)

Overview:

All over the city battles raged; house by house, Rostov had to be pried from the Reds. Having initially made good progress, SS “Viking” Division became embroiled in the bitter street fighting. Soviet troops and sappers who had barricaded the city streets were ordered to defend it to the last bullet. The Scandinavians of the Nordland Regiment, stymied from advancing for two days by a well-armed NKVD company in a large factory complex, attacked again in expectation that approaching German armor would support the final assault. The SS incurred heavy losses gaining entrance to the factory, but once inside their troubles had only just begun.

Defender: Russian (1233rd NKVD Company)
