Detailed explanation-1: -The Soviet Red Army inflicted a crushing and humiliating defeat on Germany at Stalingrad. After this the Soviet Red Army hounded out the retreating German soldiers until they reached the heart of Berlin, establishing Soviet hegemony over the entire Eastern Europe for half a century thereafter.
Detailed explanation-2: -Who won the Battle of Stalingrad? The Battle of Stalingrad was won by the Soviet Union against a German offensive that attempted to take the city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd, Russia) during World War II.
Detailed explanation-3: -After the victory at Stalingrad, the Soviet army remained on the offensive, liberating most of the Ukraine, and virtually all of Russia and eastern Belorussia during 1943.
Detailed explanation-4: -The loss at Stalingrad was the first failure of the war to be publicly acknowledged by Hitler. It put Hitler and the Axis powers on the defensive, and boosted Russian confidence as it continued to do battle on the Eastern Front in World War II.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hitler was furious about the surrender, but seemed more perturbed by Paulus’ failure to take his own life rather than the needless loss of a quarter of a million men. Zeitzler remarked to the Fuhrer, ‘It’s quite impossible to explain how this happened’. He knew only too well how it had happened.
