Please introduce some battles in Europe during World War II.

The Battle of Stalingrad was the decisive battle of Soviet against German in the Great Patriotic War. The victory of the Soviet army in this defense war is of great strategic significance, which not only reversed the whole situation of the Soviet-German battlefield, but also became the fundamental turning point of the Second World War.

Not satisfied with the defeat of the Moscow campaign at the beginning of 1942, the German fascists abandoned the plan of all-round attack on the Soviet Union in July of the same year, focusing on the southern line and taking Stalingrad as the main operational goal. On July 17, the Germans began to storm Stalingrad in an attempt to occupy the city, cut off the Volga River, control the Caucasus, and then attack Moscow northward. After three days of fierce fighting, the Germans quickly controlled the Volga River basin south and north of Stalingrad. Under the command of paulus, commander of the 6th Army, and Kleist, commander of the 4th Tank Army, the Germans attacked Stalingrad for many times, but they were stubbornly blocked by the Soviets and failed to capture the city. In this campaign, the Germans have invested more than 6.5438+0.5 million troops.

The Germans arrived in the suburbs and factory areas of Stalingrad in September, but they were bravely resisted by the workers' fighting team. In mid-June, 5438+10, under the strong offensive of the German army, the Soviet defense forces were almost pushed to the Volga River. With the coming of winter, the supplies of the Germans began to be insufficient, and their tanks were useless in street fighting. 165438+ 10 19, the Soviet Southwest Army, Stalingrad Army and Don River Army turned to counterattack at the same time, and surrounded 330,000 German divisions in Stalingrad, crushing the German attempt to break through in June and February of 5438.

The defensive campaign in Moscow was launched on an area of about 65,438+0,000 kilometers. At that time, the Soviet troops deployed in this area were only half of those attacking the enemy, so the Germans once pushed to a place only 25 kilometers away from downtown Moscow. Soviet soldiers and civilians fought bloody battles with the Germans in the suburbs of Moscow. Workers and residents in Moscow organized dozens of workers' camps and militia divisions, and hundreds of people played tank classes. The city dispatched 500 thousand people to build fortifications, three quarters of whom were women. 165438+1On October 7th, at the most difficult moment when the enemy was only 70km away from Moscow, a grand parade was held on Red Square, and Stalin made an inspiring speech. On February 6, 65438+, the Soviet army began to counterattack from the suburbs of Moscow. By the beginning of 10, 1942+65438+, the Germans were forced to retreat from 100 km to 250 km, and more than 1000 settlements were liberated. In order to expand the results, nine Soviet armies launched a full-scale counterattack against the enemy from October 8 to late April in 65438/KLOC-0, defeating more than 50 German divisions, killing more than 800,000 Germans, repelling the enemy from 150 km to 400 km, relieving the threat to Moscow and recovering more than 60 cities.

The Soviet victory in defending Moscow declared Hitler's "blitzkrieg" completely bankrupt, which greatly encouraged the confidence of the Soviet Union and people all over the world in defeating fascism.

Battle of Leningrad

1941from July to September, Hitler's northern army broke through the Soviet resistance with superior forces and reached the suburb of Leningrad, the second largest city in the Soviet Union, and the area around Lake Ladoga, the Sufen River only 5 kilometers away from the urban area, cutting off the connection between Leningrad and the Soviet mainland in an attempt to force Leningrad to surrender without a fight. However, the people of Leningrad are brave and unyielding. Despite the indiscriminate bombing by enemy planes, they starved and persisted in production. Many workers and residents automatically took up arms and went to the front to fight. During the 872 days when Leningrad was besieged from 194 1 September 8 to 19441October 27, the Soviet government and people successfully organized the supply of cities and troops through the "Road of Life" in Lake Ladoga. The frontline troops of Leningrad and the Baltic Fleet repelled the enemy's constant attacks, and finally completely smashed the German blockade of Leningrad in 1944+ 10. In March, the Soviet army repelled the Germans from Leningrad for more than 200 kilometers.

In the great battle of Leningrad, more than 600,000 residents and Soviet officers and soldiers gave their lives.
