This Day in the History of Evil


On this day in 1942, the German 6th Army took over the bulk of Stalingrad in what is called the greatest battle ever. Parts of the city on the western bank of the Volga remained in Soviet hands throughout the battle. The Germans never really tried to take the part of the city on the eastern bank. The Soviets lost more killed in just this battle than we lost during all of WWII. It all ended in tears for the Germans.
