Historically, there have been times when the battlefield and the parade site are only more than 20 kilometers apart. The front is in the battle and the military parade is behind. This is moscow in the former Soviet Union, moscow in russia today.
Battle of Moscow
During World War II, the war between Germany and the Soviet Union lasted 3 years and 10 months. The area involved is more than 600 km. There were several battles during this period. The Germans planned to occupy Moscow within four months in the form of blitzkriegs, known to the Germans as Operation Barbarossa.
1. Defeat and flee
In the early days, the German army used advanced armored vehicles and tanks to break through the usual blitzkrieg tactics, marching all the way and invincible.
Tanks and armored vehicles
At the Battle of Bryansk, the Germans captured Bryansk and Oryol with almost no casualties, thus encircling the Soviet 13th and 3rd Armies. This was all thanks to the German commander Heinz Wilhelm Guderian (known historians as the "Father of Blitzkrieg" and the "Father of the World's Armored Vehicles"), but was also nicknamed "Rapid Heinz" by his subordinates because of his impatient and straightforward personality).
The Overwhelming German Army
The Soviet 50th Army was surrounded by infantry of the German 2nd Army north of Bryansk. But the encircled Red Army units continued to fight, forcing the German offensive against Moscow to be postponed for two weeks. This delay, which eventually led to the collapse of Germany at the gates of Moscow.
In addition, the Battle of Vyazma, which coincided with the Battle of Bryansk, suffered a crushing defeat between the Soviet Western Front and the Germans, resulting in no army in front of Moscow, and the Muscovite people were once in a panic. The Red Army suffered more than 380,000 casualties in the battle; more than 600,000 were captured.
Organize the line of defense
The Soviet command took urgent measures to strengthen the Mozhaysk Line, even sending poorly armed militias and cadets from military schools to the front. It forms a route of up to 340 kilometers. However, after the German breakthrough was still a tragic failure, the German offensive in the direction of Moscow received the code name "Typhoon". At this time, the Soviet Union was on the verge of extinction.
Tragic war
2. Heavenly justice
The Germans faced increasingly cold weather
After that, the Moscow command transferred the victorious general Zhukov, which increased the morale of the army to a certain extent. The increasingly cold weather, accompanied by rain and snow, made it difficult for German tanks to advance, and the German army lacked winter combat equipment, in stark contrast to the Red Army.

3. Passionate speech
Stalin Red Square military parade
On November 7, 1941, a million troops of fascist Germany approached the city and surrounded Moscow, and the country and nation were in a state of life and death, in order to boost morale and celebrate the 24th anniversary of the October Revolution, the Soviet Red Army held a grand military parade in Moscow's Red Square. Stalin delivered a passionate speech. (Comrades!) Today is the twenty-fourth anniversary of the October Revolution under grave conditions. The mainland has had a time when it is in a more critical situation than it is now. Recall that in 1918, we celebrated the anniversary of the October Revolution. At that time, three-quarters of the mainland's territory fell into the hands of foreign armed interventionists. At that time we had no allies, no Red Army — we had only just begun to create it — there was not enough food, not enough weapons, no clothing. Fourteen countries were besieging the continent. But we have not been discouraged, we have not been discouraged. At that time we organized the Red Army in the flames of war and turned the mainland into a military camp. At that time, the great spirit of Lenin inspired us to go to war against armed interventionists. The result? We defeated the armed interventionists, recovered all lost ground, and won the victory. The situation on the mainland is much better now than it was twenty-three years ago. Now hunger and poverty are shrouded in Germany, and in the four-month war Germany has lost four and a half million soldiers, Germany has been bloodied, its personnel reserves are exhausted, and the spirit of resentment is immersed not only in the peoples of Europe, which are trapped under the oppression of the German aggressors, but also in the German peoples themselves who feel that the war is ended indefinitely. The German aggressors are straining their last strength. There is no doubt that Germany must not support this tension for long. In a few months, in half a year, maybe a year – and Hitler's Germany will surely be broken by its deep sins. The peoples of Europe, enslaved under the yoke of the German invaders, are counting on you as their liberators. The great mission of liberation falls on your shoulders. Be worthy of the responsibility of this mission! The war you are fighting is a war of liberation, a war of justice. Fight for the complete crushing of Deco! Destroy Deco! Long live our glorious motherland! Long live the freedom and independence of our motherland! March towards victory under the banner of Lenin! ）
The parade army rushed to the battlefield ahead
The parade army walked through Red Square, the soldiers were loaded with live ammunition and morale, and after the parade, they did not turn their heads back, and drove straight to the battlefield outside Moscow. This military parade, like a light in the darkness, greatly boosted the morale of the Moscow soldiers and civilians, and finally led them to victory in the defense of Moscow.
4. Peace, freedom and independence are precious
Peace, freedom and independence are not only for moscow in the past, but peace and freedom are based on the flesh and blood of countless predecessors and rise from fierce struggles. Moreover, the strength and prosperity of the mainland today are also derived from the hard work of countless benevolent people.
