The ability to find a non-standard solution to a problem is highly valued. Especially in closed male teams engaged in survival. Things have been this way ever since our prehistoric ancestors for the sake of obtaining fresh meat first thought of building many kilometers of stone fences along the ravines to drive the unfortunate, but such delicious artiodactyl herbivores right to the bottom abyss. Our recent ancestors did not go through driving deer in Stalingrad in 1942, but there were no less reasons for “survival” creativity.
The Battle of Stalingrad is not in vain considered the pitched battle on the eastern front. The defeat of the Red Army here would have had dire consequences. Perhaps even more difficult than in the event of the loss of Moscow, if something like this happened. That is why Soviet soldiers had to cling and bite into Stalingrad for every street, for every five lands. Urban battles are a priori heavy and extremely bloody. It is not uncommon to even hear that it was the Battle of Stalingrad that eventually forged the very victorious Red Army in World War II.
The most important part of urban combat, of course, is the use of grenades. Everything is obvious here. For an infantryman without heavy weapons, such as mortar support or some kind of artillery, it is grenades - this is often the only way to smoke out the enemy (usually feet first) with a well-protected positions. At the same time, back in 1942, the Germans came up with an interesting solution to protect long-term positions: they began to hang anti-grenade nets on the windows of occupied buildings and loopholes of firing points. When trying to throw a "gift" through this, the attack aircraft did not succeed - the grenade simply bounced off the window and fell to the ground outside the enemy's shelter.

Soviet attack aircraft responded to German ingenuity with their own. The soldiers began to make hooks from wire and other materials at hand. Several of these hooks were tied to a grenade, which eventually allowed it, when thrown onto an anti-grenade net, with a high probability not to bounce, but still catch and explode in a window opening. The effect of this was far from the same as that of a grenade explosion inside the premises, but there was also little pleasant for the Nazis who had settled in positions.
