Romanian troops, the siege of Sebastopol, Russia, 1941-1942. Romania supplied more troops to the Axis invasion of Russia than any other of Germany's allies. The battle to capture the Soviet city and naval base of Sevastopol in the Crimea began on 7 November 1941. The Germans and their Romanian allies finally took the city from the heavily outnumbered Russians in July the following year. One significant impact of the siege was that it tied up the German 11th Army who would otherwise have been deployed alongside the 6th Army as it began its fateful assault on Stalingrad. A print from Signal, September 1942. Signal was a magazine published by the German Third Reich from 1940 through 1945.
