20. A Day In The Life Of A Soldier At The Battle Of Stalingrad | A Day In History

A Day In The Life Of A Soldier At The Battle Of StalingradOn the 23rd August 1942, the Axis Powers led by Nazi Germany entered the Soviet city of Stalingrad. Hitler expected a quick victory, but almost 5 months of fighting later, the Battle of Stalingrad proved the beginning of the end for Hitler’s Nazi Germany, and was one of the bloodiest in the entire Second World War.At its end, there were almost two million casualties across both sides, and the average lifespan for a Soviet soldier in the battle was just 24 hours. But for the Nazis, who in the final months were forced to endure horrific conditions as temperatures plummeted and food ran out, they may have envied this quick death, and longed for it instead.#stalingrad #battleofstalingrad #worldwar2 #history #ww2 #historychannelDISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.
