One cannot understand WW 2 without understanding the German casualties in that battle and the effect of these losses for the remainder of the war. The Germans and their allies lost over 850,000 men at Stalingrad. In comparison, US casualties at the Battle of the Bulge, the greatest losses in any operation of that war were approximately 89,500. 'Catastrophic' doesn't come close.

Correct. Funny how US schools don't really teach how relevant Russia was to WWII. It's mostly just a constant parade of rah rah D-Day stuff.
