The Battle of Stalingrad was one of the most important episodes not only of the Great Patriotic War, but of the Second World War as a whole. The battle lasted 200 days and nights and ended with the complete defeat of the German army.
On January 31, 1943, the commander of the 6th Army of the Wehrmacht, Field Marshal General Friedrich Paulus surrendered to the Soviet Army. Although the fighting in Stalingrad continued for a few more days, this event was pivotal in the Battle of Stalingrad. Paulus became the highest-ranking German officer captured at that time.
The lecture is delivered by Alexei Isaev.
