Stalingrad was a turning point in WW-2 on two counts. It was costly on
both sides in men and material and ended in a complete Soviet victory.
The Germans advance to the East had been halted. Of equal importance
was the psychological impact. Hitler wanted Stalingrad for the strategic
value this major industrial city on the Volga represented but also because
of its name. Stalin came to see the protection of Stalingrad as a personal
thing. Prestige was on the line and the result was the loss of a million
lives.
The defeat of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad was a turning point on the Eastern Front ; the Germans never regained the initiative and the Russians had shown to the world that they could fight and win battles .
