The Battle of Stalingrad took place from September 2, 1942 to February 2, 1943 in the city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd) between German and Soviet forces. Hitler wanted to capture Stalingrad to cut off Soviet supply lines and advance further into Russia, but the Soviets launched a counteroffensive that led to the surrender of the exhausted German 6th Army, marking a major turning point in World War 2. Over 1 million soldiers from both sides fought in the brutal urban combat among the ruins of the city, which was reduced to rubble by the end of the battle.

Day D (June 6, 1944), also known as Operation Overlord, took place on the day that marked the beginning of the liberation of France from the domination of the Nazis in World War II. It can be said, however, that the true D-Day in World War II is February 2, 1943 when the Nazi army was crushed at the Battle of Stalingrad in the Soviet Union and began the overthrow of Nazi Germany and not June 6, 1944 when the formation of the western front with invasion of the Allies in Normandy took place.
