When two tyrants went to war

Article Abstract:

The 1942 battle for Stalingrad, Russia, pitted Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin's mutual determination never to surrender against one another, and led to casualties that dwarfed D-Day and other major battles. Germany's casualties amounted to 500,000 and Russia's to 1.1 mil. Stalin's forces eventually prevailed because it could continually resupply troops as Hitler's forces began to starve and run out of ammunition during the winter. The meaning of Stalingrad has not been sufficiently absorbed by the West, whose losses during World War II were not as great as Russia's.
