Featured in the series Game of Thrones, "rat torture" was a cruel method used to extract confessions or punish individuals, recorded in various historical periods, especially during wars or brutal interrogations. In this method, a rat was placed inside a container, like a bucket, attached to the victim’s body. The container was then heated with fire, forcing the rat to escape by digging into the victim’s body, causing excruciating internal injuries.

October 1942, a Soviet soldier is seen alongside citizens who have lost their homes due to the destruction caused by the war. We can see the sadness on the face of the Red Army soldier as he listens to what happened to his country during the war. During the Battle of Stalingrad, one of the most brutal moments of World War II, entire cities were devastated, and millions of civilians were left homeless or lost their lives.
