sep 30, 1942 - Battle of Stalingrad
Description:
After Russia and the Soviet Resistance had prevented Hitler from capturing Moscow and Leningrad, Hitler turned his attention to Southern Russia in hopes of capturing oilfields and the industrial city of Stalingrad. However, this proved to be a fated move for Germany as they were forced to surrender 108,000 troops and this decision ultimately led to Hitler's downfall.
