The Battle of Stalingrad is regarded as one of the bloodiest battles in the history of warfare. Little regard for military and civilian casualties, it lasted nearly 6 months with an estimated 1.5 million total deaths.

This is a challenge about hardcore, to the death fighting. It can be about Stalingrad, or it can be set in another bloodthirsty battle from history.

Kudos to anyone who can pull off graphic fight scenes in writing.

Looking forward to your entries.
