The Battle of Stalingrad was one of the closest and most pivotal military battles of World War II. The battle was fought from August 23, 1942 to February 2, 1943. German troops were decimated by the defending Soviets in the battle which involved more personnel than any other battle of the war. It is often regarded as one of the bloodiest battles in the history of warfare as it resulted in approximately two million casualties. It is featured as a map for Battlefield 1942.

Battlefield 1942Edit

The battle for the city centers around the bombed out port and rail facilities where both forces must battle through the bombed out buildings from their respective uncapturable bases to control the 3 capturable points. Being the smallest map in the game, it is largely infantry based with a few armored vehicles and cars available for transport. Due to the map's small size, much action takes place between the flags.

There are sevreal MG42 emplacements situated around the central control point called "Railway". Both teams start off with 2 medium tanks (Panzer IV for the Axis, T-34 85 for the Allies).

DescriptionEdit

"As enemy troops continue to pound Stalingrad, Stalin's words "not a step backwards" echo in the ears of every Red Army soldier. After the long winter campaign, Russian troops are more determined than ever to maintain control of the city. Even though Germany's armored units have turned much of the city to ruin, the Red Army has been doing a good job at repelling the assault. According to intelligence, German forces are gathering for a final all-out assault on the city. If successful, this attack could mean defeat for Russia, It is crucial for every Russian to dig in and hold the city against this invasion. Stalingrad msut not fall into enemy hands." — Map Briefing
