Today in History, Sept. 30

Soviet troops stage counter-attack on German forces in December 1941.

72 years ago today, on Sept. 30, 1941, the Battle for Moscow began during the Great Patriotic War. Due to the persistence of the Soviet troops, the Russians proved successful in protecting the city from a German invasion.
