When Germany's Sixth Army advanced to Stalingrad in 1942, its long-extended flanks were mainly held by its allied armies - the Romanians, Hungarians, and Italians. These flanks quickly caved in before the massive Soviet counter-offensive. Historical record shows that one allied unit held out to the end - the Italian Alpine corps.
