Description:
The very carefully prepared operation of destroying German forces in Stalingrad started on the 18th November 1942. In the beginning the Soviets attacked the Romanian divisions with a strong support of artillery and tanks. The first day these troops were smashed or made to retreat. When the Germans counter-attacked they were faced with an immense advantage of the Soviet armies. However they still did not see a real danger. The Soviets attacked many times and they always were defeated. It was always enough for the Germans to regroup their forces and then it was easy to smash the Soviets. But once again it was not a military issue. Hitler ordered to defend of Stalingrad even when the city was surrounded. This catastrophic order was the reason that the Germans could not defend efficiently. Today we can ask what could have happen if the Germans had started to retreat?
