War is always cruel for the country and the people. When a country goes to war, it means that its order will fall into a state of chaos, and the people of the country will be displaced. Of all the large-scale wars, the Battle of Stalingrad was the most brutal. Unlike other wars, it suffered heavy casualties, millions of people lost their lives in the war, and the scene after the war was even more tragic, with corpses strewn across the field and rivers of blood. After the battle, Stalingrad had 850,000 inhabitants, but only 7,500 remained. After the war, not even a complete building could be found on the street, and since then a beautiful and prosperous city with a large population has been reduced to rubble by the devastation of the war. The city became a devastated and abandoned corner.
This is a brutal war for us, and we can see that throughout the course of the war, we get data on the increase in casualties every day, and for the Soviet Union, this victory is an honor of life and blood. Remember that on the battlefield in Stalingrad, time is not measured in hours, the lives of soldiers are counted every second, and we can even say that the survival time of each soldier is only 24 hours, and even the average time of officers is only three days. Listen to them, if a soldier can live for three days, he can become a company commander in the army position, so we can know how low the survival rate of soldiers is. On a purgatory-like battlefield, assuming that you can stay for one more second is a blessing cultivated in a previous life.
In the Battle of Stalingrad, the rate of loss of military strength invested was so astonishing that almost no war in the history of human warfare could match its attrition. Not just individual soldiers, but also from the aspects of the entire battlefield, it is simply unimaginable. For the Soviet side, they had sent hundreds of formed units to reinforce, but the war took only three days, and a full division-level unit ceased to exist. I remember a German soldier who said that a train could carry 4,000 officers and men, but only about 15 to 20 people survived from the front. A division can disappear forever on the battlefield in just 15 minutes. These shocking data are enough to show the cruelty and horror of the Battle of Stalingrad, it is simply fate, if there is a god, the god of death is probably the only god who will be happy, after all, he can harvest thousands of souls with his hand.
February 2 was a memorable day for the Soviet Union, because on this day, the 6 and a half months of Stalingrad Battle came to an end, so it was used as the victory day of the Battle of Stalingrad, and in 1945 the city was officially renamed "Hero City" in order to commemorate the brave and fearless martyrs in the Battle of Stalingrad. In the 1960s, the Soviet Union erected the "Mother Russia Monument", a 52-meter-high monument located in the hill Mamayev Hill outside the city. It is in such a relatively peaceful era as today, whenever the anniversary comes, the Soviet appointment will bring flowers and respects, and go there to hold events, because everyone who gave his life to defend his homeland is a hero, and they should always be remembered and respected by the people.
