And to reinforce some[^]

Wikipedia:

Pavlov's House (Russian: дом Павлова dom Pavlova) was a fortified apartment building which held for 60 days against the heavy Wehrmacht offensive during the Battle of Stalingrad... By comparison, the Battle of France lasted 45 days and the Battle of the Netherlands lasted 7 days during the German offensive in 1940.

...

Vasily Chuikov, commanding general of the Soviet forces in Stalingrad, later joked that the Germans lost more men trying to take Pavlov's house than they did taking Paris
