Stalingrad was the biggest and bloodiest battle in war history. Estimates vary, but the war between August 1942 and February 1943 is thought to have brought 2 million victims, and more than 1 million people died, reports “RT” Transmission Periscope.

It was not only the involvement of military forces but also the specific circumstances.

Nazi leader Adolf Hitler had an obsessional desire to capture the Soviet city and bring more troops into the battle against them, who were defending their homeland under the orders of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin “no step back! ”

The battle was the city bombing, securing the scene for the most notorious and vicious street war known as “War of mice” by the Germans.

For the Germans, it becomes the meat mill. Every division they sent down was destroyed, so they were forced to pull from their wings where they were positioned. According to 6th Army losses figures, most divisions went in terms of confrontation. Within a week, they are considered weak or tired. The rate of abuse is phenomenal. The fall of the city only makes things worse. In early November, they emerge from the divisions,” speaks American historian David Glantz of the course of battle.

Stalingrad was attacked as part of Operation Blau, who was supposed to break up Soviet forces and allow Germany's entry into the Caucasus. As it developed, however, the battle grew rapidly with its logic and much larger shares, which did not involve any operational implications.

But the matter goes deeper. Hitler's rapid climb, both political and military, relied on the manic belief and optimism that developed directly to Operation Barbarossa in 1941.

Even before Stalingrad, after the Soviet Union refused to surrender in the planned two months, the Führer was probably aware that for the first time that the final game did not look promising.

A victim of the mistakes of sunken costs, instead of waiting for losses and charging for peace, he doubled, demanding great victory.

And once the battle began, he did it again and again, even when there could be no further military excuse for taking the city./Periscopi/
