Due to the environment of Stalingrad which was litterally a hellish labyrinth of stone and crumbling buildings due to artillery barrages and constant bombings, Much of the combat in the battle of Stalingrad was conducted on foot, in house to house raids, many consider this to be one of the first great examples of Urban warfare.

This was certainly a battle of attrition on both sides, with much of the Soviet Union being conscripted from all walks of life, many didnt even have weapons and were simply thrown into the German lines as cannon fodder While the Germans were so stretched that while they had equipment for their men, it simply wasnt what many of them were used to. Russian snipers truly shined in this battle such as Vassilily Zaitzev (Spelling?) and many others being recorded as having over 500+ confirmed kills
