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.

The best known sniper at the battle of Stalingrad was Vasily Grigorevich Zaytsev, he killed 225 Axis troops during the battle of Stalingrad, and many before and after Stalingrad. He was blinded by a mortar round during the battle of Stalingrad, but was able to have his sight restored. Zaytsev was given the title "Hero of the Soviet Union" and was eventually promoted to the rank of captain. You might also find this list at http://www.wio.ru/galgrnd/sniper/sniper.htm interesting to look at. It does not specify whether these snipers were at the battle of Stalingrad, but I would lay money on a guess that most of them were at some point.
