Operation ‘Uranus’ defeated the Germans by literally targeting their rear. Nice

My grandfather's brother was a tanker and fought in Stalingrad. He received a medal for courage and the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd class.

My Grandmother was in Stalingrad that time, she would tell me stories about that battle, how they would hide every day from aircrafts. The first month they were getting some bread but after 2 months of battle they were eating rats then started eating their own cats&dogs and she would tell me at some point some people started eating their young children(you couldn’t eat anything/anyone else bc all men were in war). Horrible days… my Grandma is 91 today.

"The siege of September 13, 1942 to January 31, 1943 will inspire forever the hearts of all free people. Their glorious victory stemmed the tide of invasion and marked the turning point in the war of the Allied nations against the forces of aggression." - Franklin D. Roosevelt, congratulating Joseph Stalin on the soviet Victory at Stalingrad, 1944

If you ever really think about death, it’s very scary and almost impossible to imagine. Thinking of just how many people died here and what they all must have felt about their life being so precarious is profound.

The Soviet high command probably just looked at the casualty report and just stamped "Too Many" and closed the casualty file for good

The Soviet troops fought to the bitter end and showed incredible bravery!Thank you Infographics

I feel like there’s more to this story than it meets the eye

I wonder if you could do a video on Rhzev as it’s one of the most unknown battles during the whole of Worls War II it was so brutal that it gained the nickname ‘The Rhzev Meat Grinder’ it’s probably where the Soviets and Germans lost a majority of their men and it’s also one of the reasons the Russians managed to capture the German 6th army

[Tehui]

Battles don't get more brutal than this. Absolutely brutal.

[periodpiece]

Atleast you published something without involvement of US in it 😂.

The question is, if Stalin made different choices, would the outcome have been different. For example, if Stalin didn't insist on Kiev or Sevastopol be defended at cruel and all costs, what was to keep the Germans from just tearing into Moscow early?

And the 80th annivesary of this epic battle is coming in 2 weeks.

"No surrender!!!" he cried from his bunker hidden away like a coward... :P

[huntsman]

listened to a podcast on Spotify about the battle of stalingrad, they mentioned that despite the huge amout of deaths the smell in the city was terrible, and since fighting was everywere it was not so fun fighting in the sewers

[davidfkennedy]

The absolute bravery on display in this story by the Soviet people is so moving.

"The ideologically important city of Stalingrad" as if that's the reason both sides poured millions of lives into the city. Stalingrad was a major industrial and transportation hub, and was one of the main arteries through which the Allies' Lend-Lease system functioned. Stalingrad was also built on the volga river and had a pretty sizeable port for it. Whoever owned the port could project power downstream all the way to the caspian sea, and since the nazis were trying to capture the oil-rich fields of the caucasus to keep their war machine churning, they desperately needed that city.

This was epic! Meanwhile, 2 million people died in this battle.

Infographics is way more fun that learning history in school. :)
