The parade was held in 1941 on the 24th anniversary of the October Revolution to boost morale among the Soviet troops as they fought to keep the invading Nazi forces at bay.
Nazi leader Adolf Hitler had planned to march his Wermacht troops onto the Red Square on that day. That is why the parade is believed to have had such potent symbolic impact on the outcome of the war.
