The Battle of Stalingrad was the bloodiest in modern history, with combined casualties estimated at nearly two million. In July 1942, General Friedrich Paulus, the commander of the 6th Army, was ordered by Adolph Hitler to capture the city of Stalingrad. General Georgi Zhukov was personally selected by Joseph Stalin himself to defend the city of Stalingrad.
