D. The Entire German sixth army, considered the best German troops was lost is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The battle of Stalingrad was the deadliest and largest battle in the second world war and was a turning point in the war. The German army was never quite able to recover from the defeat and number of soldiers lost. The battle took place between 1942 and early 1943. Due to months of fighting and starvation, the Germans announced their surrender on 2nd February, 1943. The fighting began when the German air force bombed Volga river and the city of Stalingrad. Nearly 750,000 German and 500,000 Russian soldiers died. the battle ended when all the units of German sixth army surrendered and it also proved the German army is not invincible.

the democratic and republican parties

explanation:

separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another.   the intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.  

the traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of american government are:

* the legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.

* the executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.

* the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.

forty state constitutions specify that government be divided into three branches:   legislative, executive and judicial.   california illustrates this approach; "the powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial.   persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this constitution."

while separation of powers is key to the workings of american government, no democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. governmental powers and responsibilities intentionally overlap; they are too complex and interrelated to be neatly compartmentalized. as a result, there is an inherent measure of competition and conflict
