Description
"In the summer of 1942 the German command launched a massive strike by Army Group
South towards the oil-rich Caucuses region toward the southeast. Part of this plan was to
seize control of the Volga River, the core of the largest river system in Russia. Sitting on
the Volga was Stalingrad, a large center of Soviet industry. Not only did Stalingrad
therefore serve as a key strategic target for the German advance, its name gave it huge
symbolic value to both Hitler and Stalin."
