Скачать или смотреть THE BATTLE OF STALINGRAD: The Bloodiest Battle in Human History

Adolf Hitler just launched a catastrophic offensive on the Soviet Union, and the world completely missed it. On July 17th, 1942, a military operation regarding Case Blue and the capture of Stalingrad—ostensibly over securing Caucasus oil fields—has effectively doomed the Third Reich and changed the course of World War II forever.

In this epic deep dive, we expose the "Rattenkrieg Phenomenon." We explain how brutal urban combat destroys the "conventional warfare doctrine" that modern armies use to achieve decisive victories through maneuver and firepower. By making it a house-to-house nightmare where technological advantage means nothing, Hitler has inadvertently created a "meat grinder of empires": a battle so brutal it would devour an entire field army and shatter Wehrmacht invincibility.

We analyze the catastrophic impact this will have on the German Wehrmacht. Already suffering from oil shortages and overextended supply lines due to Operation Barbarossa's failure, the German 6th Army has now been completely destroyed in Stalingrad's frozen ruins. The 290,000 trapped soldiers are now encircled and starving, forcing a "strategic collapse" of the Eastern Front where Germany would never mount another major offensive.

This is the turning point of World War II. We break down the "Operation Uranus encirclement" that trapped an entire army, why Hitler's stand-fast order is now a death sentence, and how this "Battle of Stalingrad" saves the Soviet Union at the expense of German military capability. The myth of Nazi invincibility has been shattered. The Third Reich is next.
