Stalingrad

There was a great turning point in World War II-the Battle of Stalingrad. After the fiasco in Moscow,17942, unwilling Hitler launched150,000 troops, aiming at Stalingrad (now Volgograd, Russia), another big city in the Soviet Union.

Because there are abundant oil resources and vast farmland here, what's more, the city is named after Stalin, and occupying this city can greatly boost one's morale and undermine the confidence of the Soviet Union.

The geographical location of Stalingrad is also more important. At the beginning of the campaign, although the Soviets resisted tenaciously, the Germans were stronger, the Soviets were forced to retreat, and the Germans invaded the city step by step. The Soviets did not give in. They fought street battles with the Germans in the ruins of the city destroyed by artillery fire. Every street and every house has become a battlefield for the Soviet army to destroy the enemy.

In order to defend their homeland, the citizens of Stalingrad took up arms against the invading enemy.

Workers insist on producing weapons in war-torn cities. Once these weapons are made, they are transported directly from the factory to the battlefield.

On the ruins of the city, the German advanced tanks and artillery lost their advantage and had to slow down their attack.

At this time, the Soviet generals discovered a weakness of the German army-the lateral strength was very weak.

As a result, the Soviet army launched a counterattack, breaking through the German defense line from the north and south directions and surrounding the invading enemy.

The Soviet army invented a new weapon "Katyusha artillery", which was very powerful and dealt a heavy blow to the German army.

After the war lasted for several months, winter came. Winter in the Soviet Union is very cold, and the temperature is often tens of degrees Celsius below zero. The besieged Germans simply couldn't get enough food and clothes.

Many German soldiers can't stand the cold, and some of them have to have their limbs amputated.

Seeing that the time had come for a decisive battle, the Soviet army launched a general attack in one fell swoop and completely wiped out the besieged German army.

The Battle of Stalingrad was one of the most tragic battles in history, which lasted 199 days. Due to the large number of casualties, it is impossible to accurately count. This battle became an important turning point in World War II. After this war, the Germans began to be passive.

We can also see a lot from the war. Sometimes the weather and things like that will open up a new path when there is no one else.
