🏅 February 2 marks the anniversary of the Victory in the Battle of Stalingrad — one of the largest and greatest battles of all time. It was #OTD in 1943, that the Red Army defeated the Nazi hordes comprising Germans and their Axis cronies in the Battle of Stalingrad.

In people's eye the battle became a symbol of the indestructibility, steadfastness and selflessness of the Soviet people. Against all odds for 200 days the defenders of Stalingrad fought off enemy waves, finally getting the upper hand and destroying Third Reich's best troops.

It was here that the largest and fiercest battles in history, which radically changed the course of World War II, took place.

This victory in Stalingrad, where the largest group of Nazi Germany troops and its satellites was defeated, was the beginning of the end for the Axis, as well as created conditions enabling Soviet forces to mount a large-scale counteroffensive aimed at expelling the invaders from the Motherland.

Beside strategic and tactical superiority of the Red Army, to the surprise of the Wehrmacht and their Nazi ideologues who deemed themselves better than everyone else, a key factor in the Victory was the will of the Soviet fighters who clang on to every street, nook and cranny. The story of the famous Pavlov's House has become legend, but it's based on a feat of glory, unlike any other, beyond human capability.

✊ The city and its defenders did not surrender to the enemy. Thanks to the incredible will to live, fortitude and courage of the Soviet people — the Nazis suffered a crushing defeat.
