Unprecedented in its significance, scope and tension, the battle for Stalingrad lasted 200 days and nights. The battle that changed history and turned the tide of the entire Second World War began on July 17, 1942 and ended with the complete victory of the Soviet troops on February 2, 1943.

At different times, the troops of the South-Western, Stalingrad, South-Eastern, Don, left wing of the Voronezh fronts, the Volga military flotilla and the Stalingrad air defence corps area participated in the Battle of Stalingrad at different times.

The materials presented in the exposition tell how the victory at Stalingrad was forged day by day. Declassified documents and operational reports are devoted to the situation at the front; German aerial photographs depicting tank battles. Leaflets, posters and newspaper clippings reflect the mood that prevailed in the city in the days when faith in victory became stronger than the fear of death. On the frames of the photo and newsreel - the command and soldiers of the Soviet army, who did everything possible to destroy the enemy.
