Pavlov building, a joke of World War II.

Because the Germans didn't want to blow up the last building, and the Soviet firepower was too strong.

In the Battle of Stalingrad, after 58 days of storming, the Germans did not fall, and they were called the Heroes Building by the Soviets. As for why we can firmly defend Pavlov Building? 1942 On September 3rd, at Hitler's personal urging, the German Sixth Army launched a powerful attack to the north of Stalingrad. The Soviet Union concentrated the 62nd Army and the 64th Army in the street, and the Soviet generals made a muddle-along tactic from the moment the Germans entered the city, which means that the Soviet Union and the Germans were completely mixed up in Stalingrad. Therefore, except before the Germans entered the city, Stalingrad was bombarded by the German Air Force, and the big house was in ruins. Since then, the German Air Force has been unable to carry out effective bombing for a long time.

In the era when there were no precision-guided bombs, German bombs were dropped and German soldiers were probably killed. Therefore, this is the most important prerequisite for the Pavlov Building to be preserved for 58 days. If in the street fighting in Stalingrad, the Soviet Union and the German army were obviously separated, and several point-to-point bombs were fired with the number of bombs of the German Air Force, the whole building collapsed. Before the Germans entered the city, the Junk -88 bomber of the German Air Force almost blew up the entire Stalingrad building with incendiary bombs. The core point of street fighting is to compete for commanding heights in the era without GPS, and use the scenes brought by commanding heights to output close-range firepower to the enemy.

In this way, the surviving buildings become what both warring parties want, so the complete Pavlov buildings are more valuable than the ruins. This is why Germans are unwilling to call the air force to bomb buildings or raise howitzers to level buildings. First of all, because the Soviet Union is a high-latitude country, the overall temperature in the country is very low. In the era when there was no large-scale heating, the Soviet Union could only use red brick walls for heating. As a direct result of this, the Stalingrad building that survived the large-scale bomb attack in the early stage of the battle has reached the level of defensive bunker, and ordinary small-caliber shells will not cause any fatality at all. At the same time, don't just watch 23 soldiers guarding the Pavlov building. Their firepower configuration is not bad at all, two 50 mm mortars, a Makhin machine gun and three anti-tank rifles.
