The Battle of Stalingrad, fought by the Soviet Union and German forces, was a decisive victory for the USSR that turned the war's tide in the Allies' favor. Germany's defeat at Stalingrad was not only a catastrophic German loss but put Germany on the defensive for the rest of the war. Stalingrad halted the German invasion of Russia and turned the tide of World War Two in Europe.
