The influence of the Battle of Stalingrad

The Soviet Union seized the strategic initiative from the Germans, and the influence of Stalingrad further enhanced the international prestige of the Soviet Union and its armed forces, wiped out the main force of the Germans and greatly weakened the power of fascism. The battle of Dahlinger was a decisive battle, but its psychological significance was far greater than its military significance.

The influence of the Battle of Stalingrad announced the opening of the second battlefield of the Allied Forces on the European continent, which meant that Nazi Germany was in a state of fighting on two fronts, relieved the pressure of the Soviet Union, cooperated with the Soviet Union in successfully conquering Berlin, and forced fascist Germany to surrender unconditionally in advance. In this way, the U.S. military can put its main force into the Pacific Ocean and fight against Japan with all its strength, thus accelerating the end of World War II.
