In the winter of 1942, the armies of Hitler and Stalin went head to head in the bloodiest battle of the Second World War.
Fought over five months through the bitter Russian Winter, the Battle for Stalingrad would serve as a turning point in the course of the Second World War and would mark a drastic change in the fortunes of the two dictators and the men who fought for them.
But how did an industrial city on the banks of the Volga come to play such a decisive role in the course of the Second World War?
In this series (‘Hitler vs Stalin’), historians James Holland, Guy Walters, author of The Lighthouse of Stalingrad Iain MacGregor and Research Fellow Sarah Ashbridge explore the personalities behind the battle to uncover the key moments, decisions and motivations that lead to this decisive moment.
In this episode 1, we uncover the personalities and psychology of the two Tyrants, Hitler and Stalin and their Generals Paulus and Zhukov as they enter a new season of campaigning against the backdrop of a global war.
In episode 2, after four months of heavy fighting, German commander Paulus and his troops had succeeded in pushing the Soviet's from out of the centre of the city and to within 800 metres of the Volga.
Victory seemed within their grasp, but what Paulus and Hitler didn't know was that Zhukov and Stalin were planning something that would change the battle, and the war - Operation Uranus.
Re-join our team of experts James Holland, Guy Walters, Iain MacGregor and Sarah Ashbridge as they continue to explore the personalities behind the battle and uncover the key moments & decisions that led to Stalin's ultimate victory over Hitler.

My Dad was a Merchant Marine during the war and told me horror stories of the convoys of liberty ships delivering supplies through the N Atlantic up into Russia. When they weren't dodging U-boats they were busy chopping ice off the decks to keep the ships from capsizing. The ships were loaded and even had equipment tied down on the deck. In one case I remember him telling about a railroad locomotive strapped down on the deck. One time he was so tired when they arrived in port at Russia that he slept through a attack on the port by German bombers and woke up to find that the pier they were tied to was burning.

@michaelgeraghty3989 Год назад

The fall of Stalingrad in early 1943 kicked off 6 very bad months for Adolf. The Allies finally win the Battle of the Atlantic, ending the U-boat threat and unleashing America's war materials flow to England and the USSR. The Allies defeat the Nazis in North Africa, and then successfully invade Sicily. The Nazis lose the Battle of Kursk, biggest tank battle in history. This is the last major Nazi offensive action on the eastern front.

@robertmendick3195 Год назад

@SgtRocko 5 месяцев назад

There's been a trend for the past few decades of Western historians downplaying the sheer import of the German loss at Stalingrad. The loss at Moscow was HUGE - but even in contemporary diaries, accounts, etc., Adolf had diverted around cities to later go back and capture, so it didn't strike most people as being any sort of major turning point. The main striking thing about it was that Stalin did NOT flee his capitol, which was VERY much noted by Soviet people & even shocked a lot of Allied leaders, who thought he would withdraw to the East. The German advance continued, so it definitely didn't turn the tide. Stalingrad, however - every contemporary account, from diaries to press coverage, even GeStaPo reports of German public opinion all show that the massive defeat at Stalingrad was a physical AND mental blow to the Germans - and a psychological boost to the Soviets & Allies. Except for retaking Kharkov (for the what, 3rd or 4th time?) the Wehrmacht was no longer the unstoppable juggernaut everyone felt it was - and the Red Army was most assuredly given a new attitude. The German advance had stumbled more than once - from Brest Fortress at the very start, to Belarus, and many other times where the Wehrmacht was badly bloodied - but the Germans kept going (and also didn't publicise the loss)... Goebbels didn't go on Deutschlandsender to eulogise those lost outside Moscow, 3 days of mourning weren't declared... Stalingrad is most assuredly THE turning point of the war, if nothing else it shattered the confidence of the German Home Front. Good video, a very worthwhile watch!

Manstein needed more troops, which he couldn't get. Hitler had already written off 6th army (probably rightly so). Hitler had to deal with Russian attacks on the eastern front (operation Mars near moscow was bigger than Uranus). Also Goering deputy told Hitler that they could do the airlift, however, his deputy came back about 36 hours later saying that they couldn't maintain the pocket.

It is no use downgrading the phenomenal role played by STALIN not only in the battle for Stalingrad but also in the entire WW II. He stood like an immovable rock between victory and defeat and ensured that his country came out as Victor, and drove Hitler back to Berlin. In fact the erstwhile USSR suffered the most, and STALIN made sure that the real credit went to his Marshals who fought in the battlefield and ensured the survival of the Motherland. The Victory Parade stands witness to what I am saying. If you still want more proof go to the Memoirs of great Commanders like Marshal Zhukov and others.

@simonbeck8579 Год назад

To be most accurate, Iosef Stalin always made sure that the Soviet people knew that it was he who won the victory. He moved Zhukov out of the lime light so that he could not steal any of Stalin's glory. Zhukov's memoires were redacted so as not to offend Stalin, until after the latter's death.

One of the ironies was that several German Generals, including Rommel and Guderian, told Hitler that Stalingrad was just a place on a map, and was not that important of a conquest for the Germans.

@@wingedhussar1453. It's really not that simple. Once the 6th Army had arrived on the outskirts of Stalingrad. They'd been much weakened by by the fighting in the Don bend. The Soviets had a strong front facing south along a line running through Kotluban from the Don bend to the Volga. Paulus was forced to conduct defensive operations here on his left as the Soviets launched a series of offensives against his flank. 16 Panzer Division which had reached the Volga to the North of the city was actually cut off and had to be rescued. The Germans were not in a position to just encircle Stalingrad because they couldn't cross the Volga and the Soviets were able to use ferries to maintain the Soviet defenders throughout. The Germans needed to take the city and quickly but they were hampered by a poor logistical situation and also lacked the strength to land a knockout blow.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice, - is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other." - Some dead guy probably sick of cowardice masquerading as virtue.

Such a detailed and accurate description of the circumstances related to Stalingrad, in just one documentary. One of the questions , that raise from documentary is question , what's really happened with German high command between AH orders No.41 and 45. It is so contradictory, that it is very difficult for generals and the army to act in the circumstances of issuing such diametrically opposed orders. Very few historians talk about it, because probably the answer to that is impossible to get any more today.

You should remember several things: Firstly, US lend lease to the Soviet Union was only given initially to assist the USA not having to enter the war itself against Nazi Germany when it was patently still a weak military power and incapable of doing so itself. Secondly, the Soviet Union had already halted the German advance before the gates of Moscow in December’41 and BEFORE any significant materiel from the USA had arrived. Finally, there is no way that either Britain or the USA would have politically accepted a similar price in blood to defeat Nazi Germany equivalent to what the Soviet Union sacrificed. So, without the Soviet Union, the British Empire and the USA would also never have defeated Nazi Germany using conventional forces. BY FAR the greatest matériel expenditure and casualty price for the Axis Powers was on the Eastern Front.
