the battle of stalingrad

The Battle of Stalingrad was a very unique battle. There were several things that made it such a unique battle. One of the things was that the battle was fought in a city. The fighting was street by street, block by block, and sometimes even house by house. Another thing that made the battle unique was how it started. The Nazi forces charged into the city with tanks and guns firing wildly and constantly, but …

…pretty easily because of this. That event started the War, but Hitler was happy with his territory boundaries to the east, at least for a little while. He eventually got greedy again and decided to do a blitzkrieg to the Soviet Union. It was successful for a while. Then he got to Stalingrad and everything flipped on him. That was the beginning of one of the most important battles in the history of the world.
