The Battle of Stalingrad Also known as the World War 2 Turning Point Kristi Hearne Pratt, 2a

One of the bloodiest battles ever fought * Over 1.5 million men were killed

Soviet Union vs. Germany

Purpose Control of Stalingrad in Southwest Russia Fought from July 17, 1942 until February 2, 1943

Why Stalingrad? Two possible reasons: 1) Hitler felt it would have been unwise to leave a major city unconquered 2) Hitler ordered the attack because it had Joseph Stalin’s name

“The world will stand still for us” -Hitler Center for communication in southern Russia In early September, 1942 Germany advanced to Stalingrad For moral reasons, Russians couldn’t let the city fall Stalin’s orders were simple, “Not a step backwards!”

Welcome to the Most Brutal Battle of World War 2 Individual streets were being fought on using hand-to-hand combat Germans took majority of the city Failed to assert authority Most areas once taken by Germany were quickly recaptured

Russian Counter-Offensive Launched on November 19, 1942 Using six armies of 1 million men, Russia had Germany surrounded Unable to retreat, Germany faced freezing Russian temperatures Germans only option was to surrender February 2, 1943 the surrender took place

Disastrous for Germany Complete German army was lost at battle 91,000 Germans were taken as prisoners Lack of manpower and equipment, Germany couldn’t stop Russia when they attacked in Germany

“The God of war has gone to the other side” -Hitler Hitler ordered a day of mourning not for the loss of soldiers, but for the “shame” von Paulus had brought Paulus was stripped of his rankings
