Battle of Stalingrad

From July 1942 to February 1943, the Soviet defense protected the city of Stalingrad from the Nazi attack. The battle began in the summer of 1942, the Nazi Army Groups A and B crossed the Stalingrad field in the southwestern part of Russia, and Hitler ordered Stirlingard to attack (Trueman, n.d.). "Some historians believe that Hitler commanded withdrawal of Stalingrad only for the name of the city and for Hitler's hatred against Joseph Stalin, for the same reason, Stalin ordered the city to be rescued" (Trueman, nd)

The Battle of Stalingrad (July 17, 1942 - February 2, 1943), the Soviet Union succeeded in Stalingrad (now Volgograd), Russia, and the United States during World War II. The Russians thought this to be one of the biggest battles in their Great Patriotic War, most historians think it is the biggest war in the whole conflict. It prevented the Germans from entering the Soviet Union, showed a change in the tide of war, and benefited the Allied forces. Stalingrad extends about 30 miles along the Volga River, is a large industrial city that produces weapons and tractors, an important award for invading German troops. The occupation of the city will reduce the linkage of the Soviet Russian southern part and the Stalingrad will fix larger German-led Northwing to the Caucasus oil field.

On August 23, 1942, the German army started attacking Sterlingrad, the major industrial city of the Soviet Union. Between August and February 1943 the battle of Stalingrad, which is 600 miles southeast of Moscow, finished fighting with the siege and destruction of the German sixth army. Stalingrad was later renamed Volgograd. In 1998, Antony Beevor published "Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege". The responsible person is Gen'l. Friedrich pole. In the first week of the battle, 600 German Air Force bombers killed about 40,000 people.

When the Germans recovered in the spring of 1942, Stalingrad was an attention. The battle of Stalingrad started from the German army around the city advocate and was seen as an important turning point of the war. After Hitler refused to allow generals to adapt to a more defensive position, counterattacks aimed at releasing Sterlingard robbed 600,000 Germans and Romanian soldiers ( Dukes, p. 272). Assistance for victory in Russia is often overrated but weather can not be ignored. As it did in 1812, the winter of Russia arrived early in 1941. After considering a short battle, Hitler did not prepare winter clothes for his army. Because of the early cold, the Germans stopped their attacks earlier than expected after arriving in the suburbs of Moscow. There are few tracked transport vehicles, and the speed of the invasion power of the German army drops significantly when the road can not pass through the moving vehicle.
