The site of the Battle of Stalingrad is now a public park in the re-named city of Volgograd, which is a city of more than 1 million along the banks of the Volga River in southern Russia. Approximately, 2 million people died during this WWII battle, and memorials to the dead can be found all over the city. The monument at the top is called "The Motherland Calls," and at approximately 155ft, it is slightly taller than the Statue of Liberty.
