In Conclusion
In Conclusion, The German army could
have won the Battle at Stalingrad, but they messed it up. Tactical
mistakes, refusal to retreat, and not being able to do urban warfare made it
nearly impossible for the Germans to win. The Russians fought hard and well, but
it was the Nazis who lost the battle, not the Soviets who won it. Poor
German leadership and Russian determination combined to cost the Nazis the
battle, and ultimately, the war. Again, Stalingrad was the turning point
of World War II. The German Wehrmacht lost too many men in Stalingrad to
continue their campaign against the Allies, and with Stalingrad, the momentum of
the war shifted into the Allies’ favor. The Germans would never regain the
initiative. Stalingrad was a battle that was marked by German mistakes. These
mistakes would ultimately cost them not only the Battle of Stalingrad, but the
war itself.
