The campaign is set during the peak of fighting between the Red Army Air Force and the Luftwaffe during Autumn 1942 in the skies above Stalingrad. Continuous German ground assaults on the destroyed city were met with ever more powerful Soviet counter-strikes. The fight for air superiority was just as furious and just as dangerous. You'll be the deputy Staffel commander in I./JG 52 that has been redirected to Stalingrad from the central part of the Eastern front.

Although a completely independent campaign, "Fortress on the Volga" continues to tell the story of a German pilot that began in our Ten Days of Autumn campaign.

All missions are based on historical events and contain a number of additions and innovations compared to the previous Scripted Campaigns.

This campaign requires IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad.
