The battle is taken to include the German siege of the southern Russian city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd)The battle of Stalingrad was the largest single battle in human history. It raged for 199 days. Numbers of casualties are difficult to compile due to the vast scope of the battle and the fact that the Soviet government didn't allow estimates to be run for fear the cost would have proven too high.
