Most important battles in ww2
1. Battle of Stalingrad - August 1942 to February 1943 Unlike
the great sweeping tank battles elsewhere on the Eastern Front,
Stalingrad was lengthy and brutal urban warfare fought from
street to street, from house to house, and from room to room as
the Red Army resisted German attempts to take over the area
Russia's defenses were based on thousands of strongpoints,
each manned by an infantry squad, in flats, office buildings and
factories, all with strict orders prohibiting retreat.
