#Stalingrad #WWII #HistoryDocumentary
In the summer of 1942, the German 6th Army marched into Russia as one of the most powerful military forces in history—330,000 strong, supported by tanks, artillery, and aircraft. Just four months later, it was gone. Not defeated in a normal battle, but completely annihilated in the frozen ruins of Stalingrad.
This is the story of how Adolf Hitler’s pride turned a strategic campaign into one of the greatest disasters in military history. From the oilfields of the Caucasus to the brutal “Rattenkrieg” in the ruins of Stalingrad, to the Soviet counterattack that trapped an entire army, we’ll uncover how ego, arrogance, and stubbornness cost Germany everything.
