Mass grave containing 1,800 German soldiers who perished at the Battle of Stalingrad is uncovered in Russia - 75 years after WWII's largest confrontation claimed two million lives:
-Russian workmen laying a new water pipe in Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) discovered the mass grave
-The 430ft long, 23ft wide, 7ft deep pit holds the bodies of 1,837 Germans hastily buried to avoid epidemics
-Historian Michael Jones said it was a sad fate for an army Hitler once said could conquer the gates of Heaven
