Inhaltsangabe

"All this will go down in Military History as a brilliant example of the enemy's operational art." Such were the words of Field-Marshal Friedrich Paulus, talking to his former staff members shortly after the end of the battle. None could better summarize the events that took place in the Stalingrad region in late November 1942. The Red Army defeated the Wehrmacht against all odds in one of the most dramatic battles in History. How such a miracle has been made possible ? What exactly happened each single day of this giant struggle ? The third volume of the Stalingrad Battle Atlas series covers Operation Uranus, the Soviet counteroffensive which ended up with German VI Army's encirclement between Don and Volga. It presents essential strategic and tactical information, including the recently released archival data, and features especially designed maps for each day of active operations. Synthesizing an extremely wide range of documents and information sources, this chronological atlas seeks to reach the maximal degree of precision in describing historical reality, rendering it through a standardized set of instruments: timeline, orders of battle, unit strength returns, tactical or strategic situation maps, contextual photos, quotes from key actors. It can be used as a reference manual for searchers, as well as a guide for those who want to know the basics: Who, When, Where. In 2015 the Russian Federal Archive Agency, in cooperation with the Ministry of Defense, the Russian Historical Society and the German Historical Institute in Moscow publically released large archival funds of Soviet and German records. This new edition of the Stalingrad Battle Atlas series thus benefits from the most substantial set of available wartime documents. Main features: o Latest available documents from archives o Tactical & Strategic Maps o Order of Battle & Strength Returns 414 pages A new perspective of the legendary battle on the Volga
