The Battle of Stalingrad was a pivotal conflict in World War II between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, lasting from August 23, 1942, to February 2, 1943. It marked a turning point on the Eastern Front, with nearly 2 million casualties. The battle began with a massive German air raid, but the Soviet defenders mounted a fierce resistance. The Red Army's Operation Uranus encircled the German Sixth Army, leading to their eventual surrender.
