Terrible state of German Divisions BEFORE Stalingrad city | BATTLESTORM STALINGRAD E11

The German divisions of Paulus's 6th Army were weak, and in this video we're going to take a look at the numbers and see just how bad things were on the eve of the Battle of Stalingrad. We'll watch as the Soviet Red Army counterattacks Axis forces in numerous places, and how Hoth's 4th Panzer Army failed to go anywhere. And we'll also witness both Hitler and Stalin argue with their commanders as the situation on the Eastern Front slips out of their control. This is a battle-animation documentary covering the events of the Stalingrad Campaign on the 24th and 25th of August 1942, backed by over 100 sources, and multiple in-video references.

I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do. This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
