| Description | Editorial cartoon shows captured German soldiers being escorted through bombed-out Stalingrad by Russian soldiers. "The German offensive for Stalingrad and the nearby Caucasus oil fields began on August 19, 1942. On February 2, 1943, the Soviet Army announced that over 90,000 German soldiers and officers had surrendered. Their lines had been broken by the inhumane weather that sometimes equaled -30F temperatures, starvation, and tactical errors that had left them encircled by Soviets. The Allied Victory proved to be a turning point in breaking Hitler's military supremacy." [Source: exhibit caption] |
