Q. Battle of Stalingrad took place on:
Answer: 23 August 1942
Notes: Germany made a mistake of invading the Soviet Union, despite a non-aggression pact. One of the important battles was the Battle of Stalingrad (23 August 1942 – 2 February 1943). For five months the battle went on. It involved 2 million men, 2000 tanks and 2000 aero-planes. The Battle of Stalingrad was the most important turning point of World War II and is considered the bloodiest battle in human history, with more combined casualties suffered than any battle before or since. The battle was marked by brutality and disregard for military and civilian casualties on both sides. The invading German army was driven back. In February 1943, about 90,000 German soldiers surrendered. This was a turning point of the war.
