Answer 2

Answer:

The Battle of Stalingrad was one of the most important military operations of World War II. It took place in the city of Stalingrad (Soviet Union, present-day Volgograd in Russia) and surroundings, between July 1942 and February 1943. In this operation, the Axis forces, led by Germany, tried to conquer the city of Stalingrad, without success. In the end, the Soviets were the winners of the Battle of Stalingrad. They were not only able to protect the city, but also to expel the Germans from their territory. This battle is considered a turning point in the context of World War II, as it was from there that the Soviets began to "push" the Germans and their allies into Berlin, where they imposed the final defeat on Germany, together with the Allies, in 1945.
