Trivia: What Russian city was home to the largest World War II battle?
Stalingrad
St. Petersburg
Leningrad
Moscow
The correct answer is Stalingrad
So why is this answer correct? : Now known as Volgograd, the city of Stalingrad was defended by the Soviets against German invasion from August 22, 1942, until February 2, 1943. The battle is considered the largest in WWII and perhaps in human history, as total casualties approached 2 million. A 280-foot-tall memorial statue called “The Motherland Calls” was completed in 1967 to honor those lost.
