The Battle of Stalingrad Worksheet: Understanding the Turning Point of World War II**

The Battle of Stalingrad was a crucial part of the German invasion of the Soviet Union, known as Operation Barbarossa. In June 1941, German forces launched a massive attack on the Soviet Union, hoping to capture Moscow and defeat the Soviet Union quickly. However, the Soviet Union was able to resist the German advance, and by 1942, the war had become a stalemate.

The Battle of Stalingrad marked a major turning point in World War II. The German defeat was catastrophic, with over 300,000 soldiers killed or captured. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, had suffered significant losses as well, but was able to recover and eventually push the Germans back.
