Stalingrad (2005 video game) Stalingrad (2005 video game) Stalingrad (also known as Great Battles of WWII: Stalingrad) is a 2005 real-time tactics video game developed by Russian studio DTF Games for Microsoft Windows. The game is built-up upon Nival Interactive's Enigma engine that was used in the "Blitzkrieg "game and is a fully stand-alone product. "Stalingrad" is set during Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany in World War II, and is based around the Battle of Stalingrad between summer 1942 and early 1943.

David Glantz indicated that four hard-fought battles – collectively known as the Kotluban Operations – north of Stalingrad, where the Soviets made their greatest stand, decided Germany's fate before the Nazis
