How was the Battle of Stalingrad waged?

Answer 1

The battle for Stalingrad incorporated many forms of fighting inside a city from fighting from house to house to struggling to control different floors of a single building . The combat was to be found even within the sewer system of the city itself . Snipers were a constant danger for any who placed themselves in exposed positions with head-shots being the signature of a sniper-shot . Battles were waged within factories among the machinery and at Mamaev Kurgan the fighting was even among the headstones found in the cemetery .

Some of the most vicious fighting in the Second World War was to be found on the Eastern Front with the only parallel to be found was in the Pacific Theater .

The fighting in and around the city was waged in the bitter cold of Winter .
