The turning point of WWII in Europe occurred at the gates of Stalingrad in Russia. The German armies led by Field Marshall Frederick Von Paulus begged Hitler for permission to retreat, set up a defensive perimeter and hold onto the vast territories it had conquered.

In the terrible winter the armies were forced to surrender, and 91,000 men marched off into Russian captivity with only 6,000 ever coming home.
