                                              Защита столицы.
  Тем временем немцы продвинулись к Москве,выйдя на окраины к началу декабря 1941 года.Сотни молодых рекрутов готовились защищать столицу.Но никто не мог представить, что перед тем, как идти на битву, они выйдут на Красную площадь перед Иосифом Сталиным и высокопоставленными представителями коммунистической партии.7 ноября Сталин провел военный парад на Красной площади в честь годовщины большевистской революции против советов его генералов,не говоря о давлении со стороны немцев.
  Парад держался в секрете до последнего момента.В тот день советские ВВС удалось невообразимое - ни одной бомбы не было сброшено на столицу.Войска покинули Красную площадь, чтобы отправиться прямо к линии фронта.Парад оказал огромное влияние на мораль в Москве и по всему Советскому Союзу, став поворотным моментом войны.Столица  никогда не сдавалась, и в первый раз немцы были отодвинуты назад.
