Default Re: Battle of Moscow is not really talked about, But yet Stalingrad is more talked about. Why?

El Alamein, the beginning of terror bombing, the U.S. entering the war, the development of the P-47 and the P-51, pretty much anything under the sun could have been a turning point in WW2. However, some of these "turning points" are more important than others. But without a few, the war might have been lost. So I guess one of those turning points could be Stalingrad. And on the original subject, Moscow was the Germans waiting outside the gates. Stalingrad was the Russians and Germans stabbing each other through the gates, climbing over the gates to get at each other, running Tigers through the gates and using panzerfausts and 'schreks to blow the gate in half!
Hm,hm,:Tigertanks at Stalingrad ??
