Answer 7

Once Russia gained intelligence stating that the Japanese had no plans of invading Russia, they sent all of their eastern troops to the west to fight Germany. With those much needed troops, Russia made a stand in Stalingrad. In terms of men and machines, both armies were evenly matched aside from the russians not having enough rifles for their troops. The irony of this battle was that Germany had already taken control of the surrounding areas and could have surrounded Stalingrad and bled it dry rather than a full on attack.
