Krasnyj Octjabr Factory - Stalingrad battle

The Battle of Stalingrad was a major battle of World War II in which Nazi Germany and its allies fought the Soviet Union for control of the city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd) in southwestern Russia. It took place between 17 July 1942 and 2 February 1943. The battle is considered by many historians to be the turning point of World War II in Europe, comparable to the way El Alamein was the turning point in the Middle East, and the Battle of Midway is considered to be the turning point of the Pacific War.
