The other day marked 70 years since the end of the Battle of Stalingrad - one of the largest battles in the history of World War II. The defeat of the enemy during the heroic defense of Stalingrad, which lasted six months, became the turning point of the war, after which the fascist troops finally lost the strategic initiative.
The Battle of Stalingrad included the Wehrmacht's attempt to capture the left bank of the Volga in the area of Stalingrad (modern Volgograd) and the city itself, the confrontation between the Red Army and the Wehrmacht in the city, and the Red Army counteroffensive (Operation Uranus), which resulted in the 6th Army and other Allied forces The Germans in and around the city were surrounded, some were destroyed, and some were captured. According to rough estimates, the total losses of both sides in this battle are about two million people.
Here is a photo chronicle of that time.

Information about the war can be obtained from many sources. Archives are being declassified, scientific and historical studies are being published, participants in the events are publishing memoirs, and finally, there are documentary newsreels. However, there is another valuable source of information. We are talking about front-line photography. The photograph allows you to capture the feelings and emotions of a soldier in everyday life in combat. Photography, like nothing else, is capable of reflecting all the horror, senselessness and tragedy of war. Sometimes front-line photography says more than archival documents. 
Below are front-line photographs of soldiers and officers of the 6th Wehrmacht Army that participated in the Battle of Stalingrad.

On August 23, 1942, the bombing of Stalingrad began, which became one of the longest and most destructive bombings of the Great Patriotic War. In half a day, the Luftwaffe's Fourth Air Fleet destroyed half the city and killed more than 40 thousand people. The city was burning, it was impossible to extinguish the terrible flame, since the bombs damaged the water supply system, even the Volga was burning due to spilled oil products.
Despite the enemy’s plan to wipe the city off the face of the earth, the survivors were able to prepare for defense and gave a warm welcome to the Germans who broke into the city on September 14, and then took long and consistent revenge until February 1943, burying up to a million German soldiers in the ruins of Stalingrad. The Battle of Stalingrad, won with great difficulty by the USSR, became one of the bloodiest in human history.

The Battle of Stalingrad in the form of a pencil drawing can be done by small children, if you take a simple picture as a model. There are many photos and various pictures on the Internet that well describe one of the significant battles in World War II.
Battle of Stalingrad pencil drawing photo
A drawing on the theme of the Battle of Stalingrad, made in pencil, looks interesting and realistic if you complement the artistic work with shading. But only older children or those who have the required level of skills can cope with such a task.
Battle of Stalingrad pencil drawing, where to start?
Of course, you can always take a photo of the theme of the military battle of the Battle of Stalingrad as an example or a picture for inspiration, but for a simple drawing, choose a minimalist photo, with a small number of small details.
In order for the work to turn out beautiful and neat, it is worth practicing drawing various elements. On a separate sheet of paper, it is advisable to draw clear geometric shapes and smooth lines, which will make the drawing less angular. You can also look at examples of drawings of weapons used by the Red Army.
The minimum tools you need to take are:
- several sheets of paper for sketching;
- A4 sheet of paper for the main work, the final drawing;
- soft and hard pencils;
- eraser for removing auxiliary lines;
- ruler.
Simple drawing of the Battle of Stalingrad
The Battle of Stalingrad and its pencil drawing can be done in stages using the instructions.
- On sheet A4, draw a horizon line, a straight line, located at the top 1/3 of the sheet. A little lower, use smooth lines to sketch a country road. The lines should not be perfectly straight, but angularity and broken strokes should be avoided.
- We will draw soldiers not far from the country road, but first we will determine their scale and location. It is advisable to reduce the scale of the drawn soldiers if you place them high on the leaf (far from the bottom edge).
- In our case, the Battle of Stalingrad, the pencil drawing will contain a minimum of details, and the focus will be on three soldiers, for each of whom auxiliary lines are drawn using a ruler. One line, slightly inclined to the side, close to the vertical position, and the other intersecting the first. This will allow you to correctly create the oval of the face, the trapezoid of the torso, and the lines - the basis for the arms and legs.
- Don’t forget that we are drawing soldiers from the side, which means that kids will have to help them make the correct proportions of their bodies and show them how to draw bent arms with weapons.
- The soldiers lie in the shelter hardly, each subsequent one should be about one and a half times larger than the previous one.
- At this stage, it is worth carefully examining the uniform of the soldiers; to do this, study the photos of the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Stalingrad.
- Carefully study the photos of the soldiers' weapons. Older children can handle copying, but parents will help the little ones.
- After drawing the soldiers, they complete the creation by adding trees, hills at the horizon and houses to the paper. All these details are made small, placing them in the background. Grass is drawn in the foreground using light shading.
- On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad, the pencil drawing is made special; several elements are added that can convey the atmosphere of the battlefield: light shading (it can be rubbed with a small piece of paper) imitates smoke from a fire, dark shading highlights the hillocks and trenches.
A complicated version of the drawing of the Battle of Stalingrad
You can take the drawing presented above as a basis, but the Red Army soldier running into the attack comes to the fore. Drawing a person in motion is a difficult task. But, focusing on simple guide lines, this can be done without special drawing skills.
The soldier should be scaled in relation to the others, who are drawn in a prone position a little further, closer to the country road. In this case, you will have to work harder on copying the form and its important elements. Attention is paid to facial features, which are positioned exactly in relation to the auxiliary intersecting lines. If your child has experience in drawing a face, you can play with the soldier’s emotions. Boys will also love the opportunity to draw weapons.
The Battle of Stalingrad, a pencil drawing of it, is a great opportunity to study an important historical event with your child. A wonderful gift for veterans who are familiar with wartime events firsthand. The finished work does not need to be painted. By following simple rules, you can create an interesting and realistic drawing.

Relevance project:
Most of our students have already developed knowledge about the Great Patriotic War, about the international holiday "Day of Victory", however, the role of their hometown in this war is unknown to them. Battle of Stalingrad affected every family. Unfortunately, not many children were able to see their great-grandfathers and hear stories about military exploits; therefore, most children do not know about their family’s involvement in the Great Victory.
That is why the development of project on this topic, which specifically addresses the connection between the child’s family and the military past of their hometown.
Goals:
