It was important because, it would soon to be a turning point for the entire war. This was Germany's first major defeat and a humliating after an nearly entire army the German 6th Army was wiped out after being trapped within the city itself. For Germany, if Germany won then they would of got to the oil fields in Caucasus but was halted at Stalingrad. If Hitler controlled the oil feilds then it be matter of time when the Soviet Army begin to fall due to not enough oil for the tanks.
