What were the chances a soldier at the beginning of the Battle of Stalingrad (both sides) would survive until the end?

Astonishingly low. At the time of the counter offensive by the Soviets, around 2.2 million soldiers were fighting in Stalingrad.

By the end of the battle, there were between 1.7 and 2 million casualties!
