Red Army soldier marches a German soldier into captivity
English translation of the original image caption: The Battle of Stalingrad from 7 July 1942 through 2 Feb 1943
After the capitulation of the fascist German troops on 31 January and 2 February, 91,000 survivors became prisoners of war.
A younger soldier and fanatical Nazi, who has not realized this end, yet.
Note: The original image caption is communist propaganda, obviously.
In fact, you see nothing but a wounded young POW, guarded by a soviet soldier (in background).

On Feb. 2, 1943, the remainder of Nazi forces from the Battle of Stalingrad surrendered, thereby ending one of the fiercest and bloodiest battles in the history of war.
It was a pivotal victory for the Soviets who, after two years of being pushed back by Nazi forces, turned the tide of the war and began advancing toward Germany later in the year.
(...)
The war between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union had begun in June 1941, when the Nazis disregarded a non-aggression pact and launched a surprise invasion.
Nazi forces advanced deep into Soviet territory, but the harsh winter prevented them from reaching Moscow.
In June 1942, Nazi leadership decided to launch its second offensive not toward Moscow, but toward the industrial city of Stalingrad and the oil-rich Caucasus region. http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/02/feb-2-1943-nazi-forces-surrender-at-stalingrad/

August 21, 1942 - February 2, 1943
Battle of Stalingrad
it is useful to remember that the most terrible battle of World War II came not with the D-Day landings but with the savage four-month German-Soviet battle of Stalingrad.
Put it this way:
The Normandy landings resulted in some 10,000 Allied battle deaths, a terrible loss.
During the nightmarish months of total war at Stalingrad, the combined battle deaths exceeded one million.
http://www.nytimes.com/1998/08/26/
The estimated loss of life at Stalingrad varies, but the Modern War Institute puts the death toll at approximately 1.2 million people.
An estimated 750,000 Soviets died defending the city, delivering an enormous blow to the seemingly unstoppable German war machine, a psychological turning point of World War II.
