Sagot :

Answer: B. the two opposing generals were Erwin Rommel of Germany’s 6th Army and Nikita Khrushchev of the Red Army

Explanation:

The Battle of Stalingrad was one of the most brutal and bloody battles of World War II and it is estimated that the Russians lost more men here than the United States did in the entire war.

Even though Nikita Khrushchev was present in the battle, he was not the head of the army but was present as a commissar. As for Erwin Rommel, he was not in command of German forces in the East and his area of influence was Africa and then the Western front.
