The battle of Stalingrad cost the lives of 800,000 Soviets and 400,000 Germans in less than three months. Hitler wanted at all costs to conquer the city which bore the name of Stalin. The Soviet general Tchouikov responded to the tanks and planes of the German general Paulus by the snipers and the urban guerilla. Every day thousands of Soviet soldiers crossed the Volga to replace the dead. Meanwhile, in the utmost secrecy, the Red Army gathered and equipped a million men to encircle the Nazi enemy. This operation, codenamed Uranus, was commanded by General Zhukov.
