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.

pepin the short[a] (german: pippin der kurze, french: pépin le bref, c. 714 – 24 september 768) was the king of the franks from 751 until his death. he was the first of the carolingians to become king.[b][2]

the younger son of the frankish prince charles martel and his wife rotrude, pepin's upbringing was distinguished by the ecclesiastical education he had received from the monks of st. denis. succeeding his father as the mayor of the palace in 741, pepin reigned over francia jointly with his elder brother carloman. pepin ruled in neustria, burgundy, and provence, while his brother carloman established himself in austrasia, alemannia and thuringia. the brothers were active in suppressing revolts led by the bavarians, aquitanians, saxons, and the alemanni in the early years of their reign. in 743, they ended the frankish interregnum by choosing childeric iii, who was to be the last merovingian monarch, as figurehead king of the franks.
