"Stalingrad." The mere name of the place evokes imagery of violence, death, and grim desperation. From August 1942 through February 1943 over a million soldiers and civilians would be killed, wounded, or captured in one of the largest battles in human history. At the end of the day, however, the Soviet Union stood triumphant, having inflicted upon Nazi Germany their greatest defeat at that point in the war. On this episode of "No One is Competent" we'll follow up our discussion on Operation Barbarossa by looking at the decisions and events that resulted in the destruction of German Sixth Army at the Battle of Stalingrad.
