In Episode 6 of "Great Battles," we examine the Battle of Stalingrad, a brutal conflict between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany during World War II. Fought from August 1942 to February 1943, this battle marked a significant turning point in the war. The German forces, led by General Friedrich Paulus, aimed to capture Stalingrad for strategic and symbolic reasons. However, fierce Soviet resistance, harsh winter conditions, and a successful counteroffensive led by General Zhukov encircled and trapped the German 6th Army. The eventual Soviet victory resulted in heavy German casualties and a devastating loss for Hitler, marking the beginning of the decline of Nazi Germany on the Eastern Front.
