It began in July 1942, and ended in Feb '43 (winter).
^^^^
The weather during the initial phases of the battle are report ably at summer conditions which were mid 70-to high 80's.
Suddenly when fall and winter arrived the weather dropped to around -10 C which is around 14 F and below which is very cold especially for soldiers fighting under those conditions. God bless all of them.

∙ 7y agoThe conditions were terrible.
The Germans was usually only a few metres away, food and water was scarce. the stench of rotting bodies was so strong it could be smelt from across the Volga river.
it was even worse after the Germans were encircled. winter set in, temperatures plummeted to -40 degrees. men starved and froze, infected with lice, dysentery and typhus among the German troops, desertion and suicide became common.
