At the end of September, 1941, the German Command launched a offensive against Moscow. The fascists strove to encircle and smash the Soviet troops defending the capital and break into the city. On October 19th, the State Defence Committee called on the people to help the Red Army. A lot of divisions had been formed, as well as the city's anti-aircraft force and destroyer battalions. More and more reserves were arriving in the capital from all the regions of the country.

November 1941 was a period for Moscow. The fascicts were standing at the approaches to the city. On November 7, 1941, despite the nearness of the front line, the Red Army parade took place in Red Square. After the march, the troops started straight for the line. In the middle of November, the enemy started a offensive against Moscow. The Hitler clique realized that the battle of Moscow would decide its fate, the fate of German fascism. But the enemy effort to capture Moscow at all costs had failed.

Everybody knows about the heroism of the 316th Rifle Division under I.Panfilov. Near Dubosekovo, Panfilov's 28 riflemen held their ground against 50 tanks. Most of them died a death, but they had done their duty. "Russia is but there's nowhere to retreat, Moscow is behind us." These were the words of the defence-hero Vasily Klochkov.

Early in December, 1941, the Red Army launched a general offencive. By late February, 1942, the Red Army had liberated the Moscow and Tula regions, and districts in the Kalinin, Leningrad, Oryol and Smolensk regions. The fascist defeat at Moscow was a event of the first year of the Great Patriotic War and the first defeat of the Hitler troops in the Second World War.
