"Tula for the Russians is a matter of prestige..." This statement by Heinz Guderian, the founder of the German tank forces and commander of the 2nd Tank Army, well reflects the role of the city not only in the Battle of Moscow, but also in domestic history as a whole. During the battle for the capital of the Soviet Union, the legendary city of Russian gunsmiths withstood all the blows of the Wehrmacht, and being almost completely surrounded was able to stop the advance of enemy troops to Moscow. Almost two months on the Tula land there were fierce battles. There was everything: tank breakthroughs, Luftwaffe raids, heavy shelling, bloody street battles, and even a cavalry raid through the enemy's rear... How did Guderian's offensive on Tula develop in October-November 1941? How far to the east did the German troops manage to advance? What forces and means were involved in the defense of Tula in the fall of '41? What parts of the Red Army played a decisive role in repelling the assault and further defeat of the enemy? On these and many other questions answers the book, which you hold in your hands. Based on archival documents, military historian Sergei Kondratenko considers the peculiarities of the organization of the defense of Soviet troops, as well as the reasons for the failure of the fall offensive of the Germans to Moscow from the southern strategic direction.
