The Speech That Stopped Hitler: Moscow's Last Stand Against 3 Million Nazis

October 1941. German forces stood 12 miles from the Kremlin, close enough to see Moscow's golden domes through binoculars. The Soviet government evacuated. Panic consumed the city. Every military assessment predicted defeat within days. But one man refused to leave.
This is the untold story of the Battle of Moscow—the first major German defeat of World War II. When 3 million Nazi soldiers had conquered 500 miles of Soviet territory in just four months, when the Wehrmacht seemed invincible, one decision changed everything.
Stalin stayed in Moscow and gave a speech that invoked not communist ideology, but Russian warriors who had defended the motherland for centuries. As German tanks froze in minus-40-degree cold just miles from the capital, 100,000 Siberian troops—whose existence the enemy didn't know about—prepared for a counteroffensive that would shatter the myth of Nazi invincibility.
650,000 to 1 million Soviet casualties. The brutal cost of survival. But Moscow held. And in holding Moscow, the Soviet Union proved that will could matter as much as weapons.
This is history for sleep. The complete story. Every decision. Every gamble. Every sacrifice.
