Description
The final part of a three-book series on the Battle of Stalingrad, this volume examines the Soviet encirclement, German relief efforts, and the final surrender of Paulus' 6th Army. The Axis forces, having fought hard to reach the outskirts of Stalingrad, found themselves embroiled in a protracted urban battle amidst the ruins of a devastated city on the Volga. The Soviet Red Army was able to hold onto the city before mounting a surprise winter counter-offensive known as Operation Uranus, which succeeded in encircling the German 6th Army at Stalingrad. Despite a desperate German relief operation, the Red Army eventually crushed the 6th Army and hurled the remnants of the German southern front back into disorder. This book covers the period from 24 November 1942 to 2 February 1943, featuring specially commissioned maps and 3D diagrams to guide the reader through the German relief operation, the fighting on the Chir River, and the Soviet operations Koltso and Little Saturn.
