How many people died in The Battle of Stalingrad?

Answer 1

The following is quoted verbatim from the 1st source cited below. If you add up the figures within the story (see 2nd paragraph) it looks like the soldiers' death toll would be just under 1 million, with additional unaccounted for civilian deaths.

"How many people ultimately died at Stalingrad? Nobody really knows. Right up until its final collapse the Soviet Government never did release accurate casualty figures from the war . Some post-Soviet Russians have stated that Chuikov spent over one million soldiers lives to hold the city, but that claim is almost certainly exaggerated. Also exaggerated is the claim that Stalingrad was the bloodiest "battle" in world history. When you consider the size and scope of military operations as well as the time frame, Stalingrad could more accurately be described as a "campaign". But the blood-letting was appalling, no matter what kind of label is attached to it.

When you tally the figures for the German 6th Army and its allied auxiliaries which supported the march to the Volga, the numbers are both impressive and distressing. The Germans lost about 350,000 men, the Italians, Hungarians and Romanians about 100,000 men apiece. The Red Army also must have lost at least 500,000 men in Stalingrad and the surrounding areas which were adjunct to the battle. But the most horrendous toll must have been on the innocent civilians who formerly lived in the city. Stalingrad was estimated to have had 850,000 residents in 1940. It isn't known how many of them may have escaped the carnage and vanished into the interior of Russia. But after 1945, a census showed only 1500 of these people remained in the pile of rubble that had once been Stalingrad."

The 2nd source estimates between 1.4 and 1.5 million total, broken down as follows...

Soviets: According to British military historian Anthony Bevoir, 1.1 million Soviet soldiers died in the Battle of Stalingrad — and that does not include the at least 100,000 (and possibly three times as many civilian) inhabitants massacred by waves of indiscriminate Luftwaffe air attacks.

Germans: The entire German Sixth Army — some 300,000 men — at the time one of the most renowned forces on earth, perished at Stalingrad.

Answer 4

The Battle of Stalingrad was the most important turning point in World War II and is considered the bloodiest battle in human history, with more combined casualties suffered than any battle before or since. The battle was marked by brutality and disregard for military and civilian casualties on both sides. The battle is taken to include the German siege of the southern Russian city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd), the battle inside the city, and the Soviet counter-offensive which eventually trapped and destroyed the German Sixth Army and other Axis forces around the city. Total casualties for both sides are estimated to be over two million. As a result of the battle, the Axis powers suffered roughly 850,000 casualties,
