The battle at Stalingrad took place because Hitler had invaded Russia and was defeating the Russian army at every battle as they advanced through Russia. When Hitler ordered an attack on Stalingrad (some historians feel he only did it because he hated Stalin and the city was named after him), Stalin ordered the city held at all costs (and some historians feel that he did that because the city was named after him.) Therefore, two great armies met headon at Stalingrad. And the Russians defeated the Germans in what was to be the turning point for the allies defeat of Germany.
