Russia The German offensive into Russia stalled, and the Russians counter-attacked. The Battle of Stalingrad was like the first time that the Germans had been defeated in battle in the war.

Leningrad was under siege for nearly 3 years & Moscow was threatned at one time, Stalingrad was reached by the Germans, but never fully taken by them, a terrible fight was ended by the surrender of von Paulus' 6th Army, few indeed of them saw Germany again.
