The Battle of Stalingrad (23 August 1942 – 2 February 1943) was fought between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany with its Axis allies. Key participants:
- Soviet side
- Red Army formations (notably the 62nd Army defending the city under General Vasily Chuikov, plus units of the Don, Stalingrad and Southwestern Fronts)
- Soviet Air Force (VVS), NKVD troops, and large numbers of civilian defenders and workers
- Senior Soviet planners and commanders involved in the relief/encirclement operations included Georgy Zhukov, Aleksandr Vasilevsky, Konstantin Rokossovsky and Nikolai Vatutin
- Axis side
- German Wehrmacht (especially the 6th Army commanded by General Friedrich Paulus and elements of the 4th Panzer Army)
- Luftwaffe support
- Axis allied forces used on the flanks — primarily Romanian, Hungarian and Italian armies (and various smaller Axis units)
The battle centered on the city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd) and culminated in the encirclement and surrender of the German 6th Army, a turning point on the Eastern Front.
