The Soviet Union's Red Army has won a crushing victory in the Battle of Stalingrad, as the last remaining German troops lay down their arms in the devastated city. The 91-day siege has left Stalingrad in ruins, with thousands of buildings reduced to rubble and the city's population decimated. This decisive Soviet win marks a major turning point on the Eastern Front, as German forces suffer a massive blow to their morale and manpower. The Soviet Union's victory will have far-reaching consequences, as the tide of World War II begins to shift in favor of the Allies.
