The chapel commemorates the catastrophe at the Don Bend in January 1943 during World War II. At that time, the 2nd Hungarian Army was almost completely annihilated by the Soviet counteroffensive in extreme frost (down to -40 °C). Over 100,000 Hungarian soldiers lost their lives, were wounded, or taken prisoner.
