The Battle of Stalingrad was the bloodiest battle in human history, with combined casualties estimated to be above 1.5 million. The battle was marked by brutality and disregard for military and civilian casualties by both sides. The German offensive to take Stalingrad, the battle inside the city, and the Soviet counter-offensive which eventually trapped and destroyed the 6th Army and other Axis forces around the city was the second large-scale German defeat of the Second World War. In Soviet and Russian historiography the struggle included ten campaigns, strategic and operational level operations. - wiki<br /><br /> MrFisk (http://www.videosift.com/member/MrFisk)http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Great-Battle-On-The-Volga#comment-579030 Fri, 14 Nov 2008 16:01:42 -0800 http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Great-Battle-On-The-Volga#comment-580961 <img src="http://static1.videosift.com/avatars/s/siftbot-s.jpg?1238509085" width="40" height="40" alt="" /><br />Moving this video to MrFisk's personal queue.
