Descrizione:

The Battle of Stalingrad, fought from July 17, 1942, to February 2, 1943, was a pivotal event in World War II. It was a brutal military campaign between Russian forces and those of Nazi Germany and the Axis powers1. The city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd), a significant industrial center on the banks of the Volga River, was the target of the German army. Despite heavy losses, the Red Army successfully defended the city in close-quarters combat, marking a turning point in the war in favor of the Allies1. The battle, one of the largest and longest in history, halted the German advance into the Soviet Union and is considered by many historians to be the greatest battle of the entire conflict.
