MIDWAY’




               The Battle of Midway is the most important naval battle of the Pacific Ocean
               campaign. The U.S. Navy, under the command of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz,
               decisively defeats the Japanese, inflicting irreparable damage upon the Japanese
               fleet. After Midway, Japan’s Pacific defense perimeter of islands steadily shrinks
               as Japan cannot replace its lost ships and aircraft as fast as the U.S. can.


               Though  Midway  marks  a  turning  point,  the  U.S.  will  sustain  much  more
               casualties as the Japanese tenaciously defend their Pacific perimeter for many
               months to come.

                               THE BLOODY BATTLE OF STALINGRAD




               The Battle of Stalingrad between the Germans and the Soviets was fought for
               control  of  the  strategically  vital  Russian  city  that  Stalin  named  after  himself

               (today known as Volgograd). It will go down in history as the bloodiest battle
               ever, with combined deaths of nearly 2 million. Stalin’s refusal to pull the Red
               Army out of the city leads to a long siege and great suffering for the hungry
               residents.
