The IDF faced a modern Stalingrad on the Mediterranean Sea, when it retaliated for the October 7 attacks by invading one of the world's most densely populated cities. Hitler learned a bitter lesson in attempting to capture Stalingrad, because the Russian defenders created a masterful defense from the city's ruins that had been created by the Luftwaffe's heavy bombing campaign. What resulted was a decisive turning point of the Second World War, when the entire German Sixth Army was destroyed in attempting to do the impossible, which was the capture of the large industrial city along the Volga River.
