Added: 2026-04-30

The Battle of Stalingrad (1942-1943) was a pivotal World War II engagement where Nazi Germany launched an offensive to capture the city and its oil fields, but after 200 days of brutal urban combat involving nearly 2.2 million soldiers, the Soviets achieved a decisive victory in February 1943 due to strategic encirclement, severe winter conditions, and supply shortages, shattering the myth of Nazi invincibility and turning the tide on the Eastern Front.
