Magnitogorsk
Magnitogorsk is the second largest city in the Chelyabinsk region. One of the world's largest centers of ferrous metallurgy. Every third shell and armor of every second Soviet tank during the Great Patriotic War was made from Magnitogorsk steel. But the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works produced not only armor steel. The new-lathe and new-mechanical workshops produced shells and aerial bombs. In the forge, blanks for shells and mines were stamped. In the electrical repair shop, they launched the production of hand grenades, in the coke-chemical - incendiary bottles and explosives. Armored caps for pillboxes and tank towers were cast in a shaped-roll-steel casting. The Magnitostroy woodworking plant made boxes for shells, the artels of the city industrial plant made horseshoes for cavalry and anti-tank mines. Sewing workshops sewed uniforms. Consumer goods shops were transferred to the production of trench furnaces.
