28 Панфиловцев

The web project "28 Панфиловцев" is a website dedicated to the memory of 28 soldiers from the 316th Infantry Division, who made their heroic last stand during the Battle of Moscow in 1941. These soldiers, under the command of General Major I.V.

The Battle of Moscow was a turning point in the Great Patriotic War, as Hitler had placed great importance on capturing the Soviet capital but ultimately failed to do so. In the autumn of 1941, the German command began preparations for a new offensive, concentrating their main forces near Moscow.
