The file recounts Reznov's actions during World at War.


Initially, Amsel treated the day as any other day - he went about his daily agenda of inspecting the men under his command, but it was not until Red Army soldiers made a push to his headquarters that alerted Amsel enough to cause him to attempt to withdraw to another location.

It was not until September 17, 1942, after a massacre of soldiers from the 62nd Rifle Division took place, that Reznov enlisted the aid of Private Petrenko in helping him track down and assassinate Amsel. His role in the occupation led to Sergeant Reznov spending days relentlessly stalking Amsel. Given his rank, he was most likely a divisional commander and given the area that his command building was located.ĭuring the German occupation of Stalingrad, Amsel gained infamy for orchestrating brutal massacres against Soviet soldiers and civilians. Major General Heinrich Amsel served as the commander of a German unit based in the area of Red Square in Stalingrad.
