On this episode of the Lions Led by Donkeys we talk about Sergeant Yakov Pavlov and his Soviet House of Death during the Battle of Stalingrad. Nick chugs Vodka to keep his horrible illness at bay long enough to record, we decide that the glorious Soviet Union would never lie in battle reports, and come to the conclusion that the Wermach was little more than Star Trek Red Shirts at this point of the war.
