The Battle of Stalingrad

Gary Arndt | Glassbox Media
About this episode

From August 1942 to February 1943, the Germans and the Soviets engaged in what would become the most brutal and bloodiest battle in human history.

The battle took place in a city that probably had greater psychological and propaganda value than it did actual strategic value.

The battle, in many respects, was the high water mark of Nazi Germany and the turning point of the enter war in Europe.

Learn more about the Battle of Stalingrad and how it changed the entire course of the Second World War on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
