Why were German soldiers willing to commit atrocities for their country?
The nature of war in general, and martial discipline in particular. Given the right conditions, all soldiers regardless of nationality, will commit any heinous act ordered. Soldiers by nature, are trained to follow orders. The more readily they do so, the better soldiers they are. Concience has a habit of conflicting with some orders, and thus is not welcome in war. When mixed with a leadership who has no qualms about killing anyone for any reason, the results are catastophic. Think of a soldier as a guard dog, who will attack whatever his master sics him upon. A bad master makes for a bad dog, and so it is with soldiers.
How did the Battle of Stalingrad contribute to the allied victory in world war 2?
The battle of Stalingrad was a huge German offensive on the Russian city of Stalingrad. It began with a huge bombing campaign and the quick removal of flanking armies which resulted in the Germans surrounding the city. Despite being outnumbered, the Russians held the city and the Russian winter set in and ended any chance of German victory in the east. If the Germans had won the campaign in Russia, troops fighting on the eastern front could have been sent to the western front to fight the European allies which would have outnumbered them and possible ended in a German domination of Europe.
