Battle Of Stalingrad Research Paper

The Battle of Stalingrad was one of the bloodiest battles in history. It was fought between the

Germans and the Russians. It involved Hitler and Jospeh Stalin. The Russians were led by the

general Zhukov. The Germans were led by the general Paulus. The battle was fought during the

winter of 1942 to 1943. The general of the sixth army of the germans was Paulus who was

focused on the city of Stalingrad. His main focus was to make sure the oil fields were secure in

the Caucasus. The Russians were at a loss from the blitzkrieg and because of this they were not

gonna let the germans have the oil fields and the russians were not gonna gonna let this city

parrish. For this to happen the general Paulus was ordered by Hitler to

take on the city of

Stalingrad. The final target had to of been Baku. Stalingrad was also very important because it

was Russia´s centre of communications as it was also a centre for manufacturing. In September

of 1942, the German army had gotten to the city of Stalingrad. As the war begins both armies

bring on their strength and power. The battle of Stalingrad happened some believe because Hitler

did it out of hatred towards Jospeh Stalin being named after the city and because they were

enemies. Army groups A and B were going to the Caucasus in south-west Russia. Hitler had then

ordered an attack on Stalingrad.
