Date: November 16, 1941*

Battle Location: Dubosekovo, Russia*
*
Battle Type: USSR defend vs Germany assault*
*
Description: Ordered to hold against the German advance on Moscow the 2nd Battalion, 1075th Regiment dug in at Dubosekovo village, near the Volokolamsk highway leading towards the Soviet capital.*

What happened next has been disputed. After the engagement Soviet propaganda claimed the village had been held for some time by a platoon strength force, later named 28 Panfilovtsy, and that the defenders in a heroic manner knocked out a number of German tanks while perishing to the last man. Some survivors surfaced and it is generally believed the defence was of the village consisted by a much larger force than only 28 soldiers.*
