Safe Mode: On
Decisive Battles Stalingrad- Pt. 6 of 6

The Battle of Stalingrad was a battle between Germany and its allies and the Soviet Union for the Soviet city of Stalingrad (today known as Volgograd) that took place between August 21, 1942 and February 2, 1943, as part of World War II.
It is often considered the turning point of World War II in the European Theater and was arguably the bloodiest battle in human history, with combined casualties estimated above 1.5 million. The battle was marked by brutality and disregard for military and civilian casualties on both sides.

The capture of Stalingrad was important to Hitler for several reasons. It was a major industrial city on the banks of the Volga River (a vital transport route between the Caspian Sea and northern Russia) and its capture would secure the left flank of the German armies as they advanced into the Caucasus with large oil deposits, hard shortages of which were experienced by the German army.

  • i disagree with the gentleman's point of view equating the 6th's army with that of islamic muslim's terroristic suicide..
    both contingents here are professional armies with uniforms and fighting conventional warfare..
    there are no women and children intentionally attacked here.. this is not guerilla warfare where the innocent are killed or maimed..
    there is real bravery here..
    islamic terrorists are taught by a false prophet who raped a 9 year old child when he was in his 50's to kill in the More..

    islamic terrorists are taught by a false prophet who raped a 9 year old child when he was in his 50's to kill in the name of a false god and expecet themselves to reap their reward with lustful rewards on 72 virgins..although the qur'an is quite unclear what kind of virgins..virgin goats? camels?
    with a highly flawed and ignorant qur'an the muslims
    yell with fanacity the name of their satanic god ar-rahman a.k.a. allah and blow up innocent people..
    their hatred for israel is commanded by mohammed and the rabid clerics and mullhas and immams who have fueled that kind of idiocy..cna cowardice..
    as in the case of the red mosques in pakistan where their so called leader dressed as a woman tried to save his skin while exhorting his followers to murder themselves with bombs..

    www.faithfreedom.org
    will help one achieve understanding of the evils of islam and as such there is no such thing as a peaceful muslim..that monicker is a ruse to deceive the west into thinking that muslims are capable of such..
    islam is very dangerous as it is patient enough to conceive such diabolical plans of mass destruction as what happened in new york twin towers..
    now if allowed the more powerful weapon..and with a doctrine of raging hatred of anything that is jewish,christian,buddhist,animist,communist and not to spare others who only want freedom and are called "kaafir".."
    d More..
