War in Yachroma

It was here, in Yakhroma, near Moscow. Our troops stopped the enemy in severe bloody battles in the autumn and winter of 1941-1942, and then defeated the German fascist armies. It was the beginning of a radical turn in the course of the Second World War.

... The main battle for Yakhroma took place on 28 November 1941. During a night attack the Nazis threw 14 tanks against our infantry near the village Peremilovo. Our soldiers skillfully organized defense. By the morning of November 29 Peremilovo had been liberated.

On 3 December the enemy crossed the canal and the ice broke. Many fascists drowned, but the other part of them managed to occupy the commanding heights and sweep the approaches to the city.
