The Battle of Stalingrad, which occurred from the 23rd of August to the 2nd of February, was the largest confrontation during the whole Second World War. It was fought between Germany and its allies against the Soviet Union. It is remembered as the bloodiest battle in the history of warfare, as nearly 2 million people lost their lives as a product of it. The outcome was decisive for the overall result of the War, as it marked the retreat of German forces from Stalingrad after their defeat. They would never attempt to reach Moscow again.
