00:04Forming part of the strength which Premier Stalin is employing in his three great offensives
00:12are these marines of the Black Sea Fleet
00:15Men from the Crimea who shared in the bitter defence of Sebastopol
00:19now employed on the Volga near Stalingrad
00:21This is another pictorial record from the Soviet Union
00:25which knits together the heartening communiques that began to come from the USSR
00:29as eventful 1942 made way for a promising new year
00:34These armoured cutters of the Volga naval flotilla are preparing to land troops to inflict a blow on the enemy flank
00:40Stout little craft which cover their movement behind a smokescreen
00:44as the marine detachment with artillery support and under the guns of their cutters make a surprise landing
00:49The dash ashore to gain the protection of natural cover
01:03the most perilous part of the attack
01:05Unless surprise is complete
01:07the landing is liable to prove costly
01:09Taken unawares the enemy may be swamped
01:12before he can bring a concentrated fire to bear
01:14In this case tactical surprise has stolen a march on the Nazis
01:18and the marines are well ashore before resistance is offered
01:21In the open step to the north west of Stalingrad
01:25Russian tanks and artillery are massing for an attack
01:28The start of another hammer blow from the men who turned the ruins of the deathly city
01:33into a graveyard for German bodies and German boasting of a sure conquest
01:37The turn of the tide in Russia as waves of red army men surged out of the inner recesses of the Union
01:44in a ferocious onslaught on three fronts
01:46The signal was attack
01:48and out from the 2,000 mile battle line
01:51they leapt the vanguards of new armies
01:53bent upon their avowed task of sweeping westwards
01:56Kotelnikov, Milerovo, Rostov
02:00These place names come back in the news one after the other
02:03Amazing things are happening in Russia today
02:06As these men are the spearhead of the great offensives
02:09so are they the point of the Soviet battering ram
02:12which will go on hammering until in time
02:15their blows fall on Hitler's towns
02:17and penetrate the structure of Germany itself
02:20Does that look too far ahead?
02:22Maybe not
02:26The Red Air Force is claiming prodigious successes over the Luftwaffe
02:46Russian bombers are adding their weight
02:48compelling the enemy on land and in the air to fight all along the front
02:52so that he is unable to concentrate a preponderant force on any one sector
02:56either for defensive or offensive purposes
03:13Soviet cameramen follow this dramatic land and air battle
03:16as it sweeps forward over territory
03:18which has known much better fighting in the past
03:26Messerschmitts, a tight formation of fighters are engaged by the ground defences
03:38Tanks and infantry advance across open ground
03:48An attack which has as its objective an important point of German resistance
03:53A map reference calls it simply height 90
03:56German aircraft are finding the anti-aircraft guns thickly established
04:00They're keeping the MEs flying high
04:03One at least was not high enough
04:05The hub of this battle swept zone is Stalingrad
04:07Key city in a sector in which over 300,000 Germans have been killed or captured in six weeks of fighting
04:14A wreaking shambles which has lost all resemblance to a city
04:20and is now the haunt of scurrying figures
04:33of snipers and small platoons working like ferrets
04:35in the tumbled heaps of masonry
04:37searching for hidden pockets of desperate men
04:39trying to escape death
04:41Trying to escape death
04:43A grim drama in which the lives of men are long if they see the setting sun
05:11on its head
05:13on its feet
05:15The Pablo try to escape death
05:16Its cutoff

06:55This is the city which by all standards of war should have passed into oblivion long ago.
07:01But this place which refused to perish gave birth to new endeavour.
07:05The stand it made marked the victory phase of Russia's effort.
07:08Phoenix-like there arose out of its ashes virile battalions which swept down on a hated foe.
07:14The hammer of wrath and the sickle of implacable vengeance is now loosed upon a disillusioned invader.
