While the war waged on in the western and the eastern fronts of Europein WWII, the German Command launched a massive attack against Russia.  When they reached Stalingradin August of 1942, fighting was particularly fierce.  The Germans deployed the 6^th Army and highly regarded segments of the Panzer Army.  The Luftwaffe supporting the armies by constant use of guns, and machinery, and dropping bombs, until all of the City ofStalingrad lay in ruins.  Fierce house to house fighting continued while both sides sent in large numbers of men for reinforcements. 

To end the stalemate, the Russians on November of 1942, launched a policy of fiercely attacking this operation by conquering the weaker armies on the flanks which were held by the Hungarians and the Romanian soldiers, and when the Russians succeeded, the 6^th Army of Germany was completely cut-off from all supplies and reinforcements.  They remained to fight against the Russians until all of their ammunition and food supply ran out.  But by February of 1943, the remnants of the 6^th Army capitulated to the Russians.

The Russian victory turned the tide of the war.  The American forces were beginning their fight against the Germans at this time.  Their policy of Lend-lease helped to supply needed trucks and warfare supplies and thus the Russians became confident that they could defeat the Germans.  My husband, Martin Freier, was in the woods inSlovakiaat this time.  Every day of living through the war was a comfort.  Read his powerful messages in the poetry which he wrote in the book, The Day Of The Hidden Truth Poems.  Cheryl Freier edited this book, and the book is one of a series.
