Why did the Soviets have the advantage at the Battle of Stalingrad?

They took advantage of Germany's flanks, which were poorly guarded by Romania and Italy. Once the flanks were out of the way, they blocked supply routes and essentially surrounded the 6th Army within Stalingrad. In the end, though, 2 things helped the Russians win the battle - the bitter cold of a Russian Winter (that Hitler had failed to take into account though it had been the same thing that stopped Napoleon from capturing Russia more than a century earlier) and their resilience. Even when the German's controlled 90% of the city in the early stages of the battle, the Red Army refused to surrender and resorted to house-to-house combat.
