Source Analysis: The Battle of Stalingrad

Source A: Soviet Soldier's Report

"The battle for Stalingrad was the fiercest of all. Our troops fought desperately to hold the city, knowing that its fall would mean the collapse of the Eastern Front. The Germans brought heavy artillery and air strikes, but our soldiers showed incredible resilience and determination. Many of us lost friends and family, but we stayed committed to defending our homeland. The city was reduced to ruins, but we managed to push the enemy back and turn the tide of the war in the East." Provenance: Private report written by a Soviet soldier, 1943, firsthand account
