Free lecture by Roy Heidicker in the World War II Remembered Series provided by the Foundation of WCC’s Arts & Humanities Program
From September 1942 to February 1943 the Battle of Stalingrad was fought. Stalingrad can easily be considered the pivotal battle of World War II. In terms of troops, armor, artillery, air power, and losses, the German-Russian conflict was the most devastating war ever fought. At Stalingrad an entire German Army was annihilated. After Stalingrad, German victory in World War II was increasingly unlikely. This lecture will analyze how the Russians overcame German strategic and tactical advantages and turned the tide of the war. Stalingrad is one of the important and fascinating battles in history.
