This documentary explores the real reason Stalingrad was doomed long before the first German units entered the city. Drawing from detailed historical sources, it reveals how decisions made months earlier, supply failures, divided objectives, and Hitler’s obsession with symbolism, set the Sixth Army on a path it could not escape.
The video covers Germany’s flawed strategy after Barbarossa, the weakened state of the Sixth Army before reaching the Volga, the collapse of Axis flanks, the failure of the airlift, and the brutal urban warfare that neutralized every German advantage. It also explains how Operation Uranus encircled more than 250,000 troops and why no relief attempt could save them.
By examining the full timeline from 1941 through the final surrender in February 1943, this video reveals how the destruction of the Sixth Army was the predictable result of decisions made long before the fighting in the ruins of Stalingrad even began.
