Stalingrad - Hell on Earth
Historians have claimed that Stalingrad was one of the fiercest and most harrowing battles fought in World War II. In August of 1942, Hitler’s army reached the doorstep of the motherland (thanks to his blitzkrieg tactics) and prepared for one of the longest and most violent battles in human history. The Russians were determined to hold onto Stalingrad at any cost, even if it meant starvation or hypothermia.
The Battle was a turning point in the war, and this book tells the tale in stunning detail. Learn about the battles leading up to (and after) the battle of Stalingrad, and look at the more personal stories of courage, commitment, and fortitude from those that participated.
