The battle of Stalingrad was an armed conflict between the Red Army of the Soviet Union and the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany and its allies, for the control of the city of Stalingrad. It lasted from August 23, 1942 until February 2nd, 1943 and it took place in the context of the WWII during the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. With more than 2 million casualties from both sides, it is considered the bloodiest battle in the history of Humanity. The serious defeat of Nazi army in this city was a severe turning point for the final outcomes of the war and it represents the beginning of the end of Nazism in Europe. This is due to the fact that the Wehrmacht would never recover completely its former strength and would not get more strategic victories in the Eastern front. This front extended from the Black Sea to the Arctic Ocean, it was too large and the supply logistics of the Wehrmacht were not enough to hold an offensive in this vast territory. As a result of this, theWehrmacht started to retreat back to Germany under the Red Army's pressure.
