Armee. After enduring a grueling battle to reach the outskirts of Stalingrad, the Axis forces found themselves entrenched in a protracted urban warfare amidst the ruins of a devastated city on the Volga. The Soviet Red Army, despite facing formidable odds, managed to hold onto the city and launch a surprise winter counter-offensive known as Operation Uranus. This operation successfully encircled the German 6. Armee at Stalingrad. Despite a valiant German relief effort, the Red Army ultimately prevailed, crushing the 6. Armee and sending the remnants of the German southern front into disarray. This third and final volume in the Stalingrad trilogy picks up right after the German 6. Armee's isolation at Stalingrad, spanning from 24 November 1942 to 2 February 1943. Accompanied by meticulously crafted maps and 3D diagrams, the reader is guided step-by-step through the German relief operation (Wintergewitter), the fierce fighting on the Chir River, and the Soviet operations Koltso and Little Saturn. The battlescene artworks, which vividly portray the harsh conditions endured by the common soldiers on both sides, enhance the narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 312g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 185 x 246 x 7 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781472842732\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robert Forczyk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44100344774906,"sku":"9781472842732","price":12.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1671202635947_book.jpg?v=1671523325","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/stalingrad-194243-3-catastrophe-the-death-of-6th-army-9781472842732","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
