Bataille de Stalingrad Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. La bataille de Stalingrad désigne les combats du 17 juillet 1942 au 2 février 1943, pour le contrôle de la ville, aujourd'hui Volgograd, entre les forces de l'Union des républiques socialistes soviétiques et celles du Troisième Reich et de ses alliés. Ils incluent l'approche de la ville par les armées de l’Axe, les combats urbains pour sa conquête à partir de septembre, puis la contre-offensive soviétique, jusqu'à l'encerclement et la reddition des troupes allemandes. L'ensemble de ces combats, dans et hors de la ville, se sont étendus sur un peu plus de six mois et ont coûté la vie à environ 750 000 combattants[1] et à 250 000 civils parmi six nations, ce qui en fait une des batailles les plus meurtrières de l'histoire.
