Read "Silence on the Western Front" While it is a boo about the western front, it is very similar to the eastern, and the best book out there about war during World War 1.
The Russians persevered over Axis forces at Stalingrad and it marked the furthest the German Army progressed in the Eastern theater of war and was a significant morale boost to the Russians and the Allies .
Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Germany fought on the Eastern Front
These two engagements during WW2 both represent turning points in their specific theaters of war . The battle of Midway was a reversal for the Japanese in the PTO (Pacific Theater of Operations) whereas the battle of Stalingrad was the turning point on the Eastern Front . Neither of the Axis combatants ever regained the initiative .
All the german soldiers were killed like rats

Russia The German offensive into Russia stalled, and the Russians counter-attacked. The Battle of Stalingrad was like the first time that the Germans had been defeated in battle in the war. At its greatest extent the Eastern Front was from Leningrad in the North to very near to Grozny in Caucasian Russia. Leningrad was under siege for nearly 3 years & Moscow was threatned at one time, Stalingrad was reached by the Germans, but never fully taken by them, a terrible fight was ended by the surrender of von Paulus' 6th Army, few indeed of them saw Germany again. There were few meaningful German successes after Kursk in July of 1943, but Berlin was nearly 2 years away......

The battle conditions were very harsh as at the time, it was the harshest that the USSR has seen since the start of the century. This made the battle ground treacherous for vehicles to cross and it didn't help the soldiers in the Battle as there was no way of getting supports into the battlefield, especially for the German 6th Army, which were trapped in the city of Stalingrad and had no food or ammo, majority died either from frost bite or starvation.
In 1943, several key events occurred that helped pave the way for the eventual Allied victory in World War II. The Battle of Stalingrad, which lasted from August 1942 to February 1943, marked a turning point on the Eastern Front and severely weakened the German army. The Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943 opened up a new front in Europe and put pressure on the Axis powers. Additionally, the Tehran Conference in November 1943 solidified the cooperation and strategy among the Allied leaders, strengthening their unity in the war effort.
because he was a nazi that liked to kill Jews and gay and mental people. ___ The indications are that he was popular - until the Battle of Stalingrad.
The famous battle of Stalingrad. Where the Nazis broke their mutual agreement with the Soviet Union, and tried to claim Stalingrad under the third Reich. At first the Nazis looked like they had a chance, but they were no match for the harsh winter and overwhelming numbers of Soviets.
During ww1 the eastern front was at the Russian front until they withdrew and embroiled themselves in a civil war. During ww2 the eastern front was again the Russian front.As like Napolean found out when France invaded Russia,the eastern front in winter can spell dome for your army,his army was decimated on their campaign into Russia.The Germans in ww2 also found out how unpleasent Russia can be,one of the turning points in ww2 was Germany's failure at the eastern front.
I want to say D-Day but other battles like the Battle of The Buldge, and Stalingrad i think are equally as importants because both made the Germans fight on there own soil.
