Description

Stalingrad was not only the most-crucial battle on the Eastern Front, it was the main turning point of the whole Second World War in Europe. The Third Reich had suffered setbacks earlier, notably at El Alamein in North Africa in October 1942, but the scale of the fighting on the Eastern Front was incomparably larger than any of the other war fronts and it was the fate of the armies there that decided the outcome of the global conflict. After the demise of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad in February 1943 it was clear that Germany would lose the war. This book brings together three "After the Battle" stories devoted to that historic struggle.
The main part of the book is taken up by a comprehensive description of the gargantuan seven-month battle for Stalingrad itself. All stages are described in detail.

Due to the wholesale destruction of the embattled city, it was long thought impossible to apply "After the Battle's" "then and now" format to Stalingrad but with the help of a local expert and acknowledged student of the battle, Alexander Trofimov, the editors of the series managed to match up numerous combat photos taken all over the city, giving full treatment to the months-long struggle for the city on the Volga.
